Celeron N2806 Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Celeron N2806 remains a relic of an earlier era in mobile computing, having been launched in December 2013. While it was designed for ultra-low-power devices such as netbooks and embedded systems, its performance today is barely sufficient for basic productivity tasks. Built on a 22 nm process and based on the Bay Trail-M architecture, this dual-core processor runs at a base frequency of 1.58 GHz and can boost up to 2.0 GHz under load. Despite its modest clock speeds, the Celeron N2806 stands out for its incredibly low thermal design power of just 4 W, making it ideal for passive cooling solutions and battery-powered devices where energy efficiency is paramount.

The processor features 512 KB of L2 cache per core, totaling 1.024 MiB, but lacks an L3 cache. It supports DDR3 memory and is packaged in a BGA1170 form factor, meaning it is soldered directly onto the motherboard and not user-replaceable. With no simultaneous multithreading support and a locked multiplier, the N2806 offers limited headroom for overclocking, restricting its appeal to enthusiasts. Its integrated HD Graphics GPU provides basic display output, supporting up to two monitors and offering rudimentary graphics performance suitable only for web browsing and standard-definition video playback.

In terms of performance, the Celeron N2806 ranks among the lowest in modern benchmark comparisons. It achieves an overall Passmark score of 3,730, placing it #2035 out of 2060 CPUs. Its single-core score of 3,370 ranks #2036, and its multicore score of 4,271 places it #1846. These results highlight a significant performance gap compared to contemporary processors—especially when contrasted with top-tier CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, which scores over 9,400 in the same benchmarks. Even among older processors, the N2806 lags behind similar models such as the Intel Atom x5-Z8330, which scores higher despite lower clock speeds due to architectural improvements.

The Celeron N2806’s weakest performance category is single-core computing, where it ranks near the bottom of the list, trailing behind even some low-end Atom processors. This suggests that while it may handle light multitasking, it struggles with modern applications that demand high per-core performance. Its multicore score is slightly better, but still falls well behind mid-range processors from the same era. The processor lacks support for SSE4, which limits its compatibility with modern software, particularly games and virtualization tools.

Given its age and performance profile, the Intel Celeron N2806 is best suited for legacy systems, industrial control applications, or low-cost netbooks where power consumption and cost are more critical than performance. It is not recommended for general computing tasks in 2026, where even entry-level CPUs offer substantially better efficiency and capability. While it served its purpose well in its time, the N2806 now represents a snapshot of mobile computing from a bygone era—functional but largely obsolete.
