Celeron 2955U Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Celeron 2955U remains a relic of the early Haswell era, having been released in September 2013. Despite its age, it continues to serve in low-power mobile devices, where its 15 W TDP ensures minimal energy consumption. Built on a 22 nm process and using the Haswell microarchitecture, the Celeron 2955U is a dual-core, dual-thread processor with a base clock of 1.4 GHz and a locked multiplier, limiting its overclocking potential. It features 2 MB of L3 cache, 0.244 MiB of L2 cache, and 0.061 MiB of L1 cache, supporting DDR3 memory via a dual-channel interface. The processor is packaged in FC-PGA12F and fits into Socket G2 (988B), making it compatible with older mobile platforms.

Performance-wise, the Celeron 2955U delivers an overall Passmark score of 4002, ranking #1885 out of 2060 CPUs. Its single-core performance scores 3817, placing it at #1874, while its multicore score of 4280 positions it at #1816. These results place the Celeron 2955U in the lower tier of modern benchmarks, with scores comparable to older mobile processors like the Pentium N3510 and the Athlon 64 X2 4000+. While it outperforms some legacy chips such as the Turion II Neo N40L and the Core i3-2375M, it falls significantly short of current mainstream offerings.

In the broader competitive landscape, the Celeron 2955U’s performance is overshadowed by modern CPUs such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and the Core Ultra 9 285K, which dominate the top 50 lists with scores exceeding 8,000. The Celeron’s weak multicore performance is particularly evident, as it ranks behind nearly all processors with more than two cores. Its single-core strength, while modest, is still competitive with some older Atom and Celeron variants, but it cannot match the efficiency or power of modern low-power designs.

The processor includes Intel’s integrated HD graphics, though specific details on GPU frequency or shader count are not available. It supports essential features like MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EIST, and VT-x, enabling basic virtualization and multimedia processing. However, it lacks ECC memory support and simultaneous multithreading, further limiting its suitability for professional or server environments.

Given its age and performance profile, the Celeron 2955U is best suited for light productivity tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and media playback in low-cost or legacy systems. It is not recommended for demanding applications, gaming, or multitasking, where even modest modern processors offer significantly better performance. While it remains functional in niche scenarios, its era has long passed, and users seeking capable computing should consider far more recent architectures.
