Celeron 3855U Details

Built on Intel's Skylake microarchitecture and manufactured using a 14 nm process, the Celeron 3855U represents an older generation of mobile processors that were released several years ago. As of March 2026, it is no longer competitive in the modern computing landscape, particularly when compared to today’s top-tier CPUs. Designed for low-power mobile devices, this processor is part of Intel’s Celeron lineup, which targets budget-conscious users and entry-level computing needs. Its modest performance and limited feature set reflect its position as a value-oriented solution rather than a high-performance option.

The Celeron 3855U features two cores and two threads, operating at a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz with no turbo boost capability. It includes 0.125 MiB of L1 cache, 0.5 MiB of L2 cache, and 2 MiB of shared L3 cache. The processor supports DDR4-2133, LPDDR3-1866, and DDR3L-1600 memory types, with a maximum memory capacity of 32 GiB and a peak memory bandwidth of 31.79 GiB/s. With a TDP of 15 W and a downclocked power state of 10 W, the chip emphasizes energy efficiency over raw performance, making it suitable for light-duty laptops and ultrabooks.

Integrated into the processor is Intel’s HD Graphics 510 GPU, which features 12 execution units and a base frequency of 300 MHz, capable of boosting up to 900 MHz. This GPU supports up to three display outputs and is adequate for basic multimedia playback and light graphical tasks, though it falls far short of modern integrated graphics solutions. The processor is packaged in a BGA form factor, specifically FCBGA-1356, and uses the Socket BGA1356 interface, which is common in thin and light mobile systems.

In terms of supported features, the Celeron 3855U includes a range of Intel technologies such as AES-NI, AVX2, and Intel VT-x for virtualization, along with Intel SpeedStep and Enhanced SpeedStep for dynamic power management. However, it lacks support for ECC memory and advanced security features like Intel SGX, which limits its suitability for enterprise environments. The processor also supports up to 10 PCIe lanes, allowing for basic expansion options.

Benchmark data shows the Celeron 3855U scoring 4087 overall, 3947 in single-core, and 4297 in multi-core performance. These results place it at rank #1810 of 2060 in overall performance, with single-core and multi-core ranks of #1797 and #1764 respectively. While its multicore performance is slightly better than its single-core score, both are far behind contemporary processors. It is outperformed by many budget and mid-range CPUs from both Intel and AMD, including the Celeron 1000M and the A4-4000, and it ranks below the top 50 in all three benchmark categories.

In conclusion, the Celeron 3855U is best suited for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and media playback. Its low power consumption makes it a viable option for lightweight laptops, but its outdated architecture and limited capabilities render it obsolete for modern workloads. As of 2026, it serves as a historical example of Intel’s efforts to deliver affordable mobile computing, but it is no longer recommended for users seeking performance or future-proofing.
