Celeron 887 Details

The Intel Celeron 887, launched in September 2012 as part of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture family, represents a legacy mobile processor designed for entry-level computing. While it is now over a decade old and no longer competitive in modern performance benchmarks, it remains notable for its role in Intel's broader mobile lineup during the early 2010s. Built on a 32 nm process and featuring a BGA1023 package, the Celeron 887 was intended for low-power, budget-oriented laptops where integrated graphics and energy efficiency were prioritized over raw performance.

This dual-core processor operates at a base frequency of 1.5 GHz with a locked multiplier, limiting overclocking potential. It includes 2 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR3-1333/DDR3-1066 memory, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of approximately 19.87 GiB/s. The integrated Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) GPU, with a base frequency of 350 MHz and a burst frequency up to 1 GHz, supports up to two displays and provides basic multimedia and light gaming capabilities. With a TDP of just 17 W, the Celeron 887 was engineered for power efficiency, making it suitable for extended battery life in thin-and-light notebooks.

Despite its age, the Celeron 887 demonstrates modest performance in today’s context. It achieves an Overall Score of 3879, ranking #1977 out of 2060 processors, with Singlecore and Multicore Scores of 3735 and 4094 respectively. These results place it behind modern low-power processors and even several older mobile CPUs, such as the A4-4355M and Pentium SU2700, which outperform it in single-threaded tasks. Its multicore performance is also outpaced by contemporaries like the Core 2 Quad Q8300 and Athlon II X2 240.

The processor supports a range of Intel technologies, including Enhanced SpeedStep (EIST), Intel VT-x for virtualization, and Intel Flex Memory Access, though it lacks support for simultaneous multithreading (SMT), which limits its ability to handle concurrent workloads. It also supports AES-NI and AVX2, though these are less impactful given the processor’s age and low clock speeds.

As of March 2026, the Celeron 887 is best suited for basic productivity tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and media playback on older hardware. It is not suitable for modern applications, gaming, or multitasking-intensive workflows. Its relevance today is primarily historical, serving as a reference point for how mobile computing evolved from the early Sandy Bridge era to the current generation of high-performance, energy-efficient processors.
