Celeron 2957U Details

The Intel Celeron 2957U stands as a budget-oriented processor designed for low-power mobile devices, released during a period when Intel was emphasizing energy efficiency in its mobile lineup. As of March 2026, this processor is considered an older design, with its 22 nm process node and 2013-era architecture placing it well behind modern offerings in both performance and technological advancement. Still, it retains relevance in lightweight computing scenarios where power consumption and thermal output are critical.

This dual-core, dual-thread processor operates at a base frequency of 1.4 GHz, with a turbo boost up to 2.3 GHz, allowing it to handle basic tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and media playback with moderate efficiency. Built on the 22 nm process, the Celeron 2957U features a 65 W TDP, making it suitable for ultra-slim notebooks and netbooks. It supports DDR3L and LPDDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600 MHz, with a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB across two channels, providing adequate bandwidth for its intended use cases.

Integrated graphics are handled by Intel HD Graphics, which runs at a base frequency of 200 MHz and can boost to 1.0 GHz. While not suitable for gaming or GPU-intensive workloads, the GPU supports up to three displays and offers sufficient performance for general multimedia use. The processor also includes a range of Intel technologies such as AES-NI, AVX2, and Hyper-Threading, enhancing its capabilities in encryption, vectorized computations, and multitasking.

In benchmark evaluations, the Celeron 2957U scores 4314 in multicore performance, placing it at #1712 out of 2060 processors, and 3958 in single-core performance, ranking #1790. Its overall score of 4100 positions it at #1799, indicating a modest performance level compared to modern CPUs. While it outperforms some older and lower-tier processors like the Pentium 3805U and Celeron 1007U, it falls significantly behind mainstream and high-end offerings in both single- and multi-threaded tasks.

Despite its age and limitations, the Celeron 2957U remains a viable option for basic computing needs in devices where thermal and power constraints are paramount. It is best suited for entry-level laptops, educational devices, or secondary machines where performance is secondary to portability and battery life.
