Intel Celeron J3160 Details

The Intel Celeron J3160 stands as a modest performer in the broader landscape of modern processors, particularly when compared to the high-end CPUs dominating the top 50 rankings. As of March 2026, it lags significantly behind leading processors like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K, which achieve over 9,000 in overall performance. Still, the J3160 holds its own in the low-power, budget segment, offering a balance of efficiency and basic computing capability for entry-level systems.

Built on Intel’s Airmont microarchitecture at a 14 nm process, the J3160 is part of the Braswell family and designed for desktop use. It features four cores and four threads, operating at a base frequency of 1.6 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.24 GHz. The processor includes a 2 MiB L2 cache and no L3 cache, with 0.125 MiB of L1 instruction cache and 0.0938 MiB of L1 data cache. It is packaged in a 65 W TDP, making it ideal for fanless or low-noise systems.

The integrated HD Graphics 400 GPU operates at up to 700 MHz and supports a maximum memory of 8 GiB, enabling basic multimedia playback and light graphical tasks. While not suited for gaming or content creation, it provides sufficient graphics performance for office applications and web browsing. The processor supports DDR3L memory and up to 8 GiB of system memory, with a maximum bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s.

In benchmark testing, the J3160 achieves a single-core score of 3,460, ranking #2026 out of 2060, and a multicore score of 4,256, placing it at #1887. Its overall score of 3,778 ranks it #2025. These results position it just behind processors like the Celeron B710 and A6-1450, but clearly behind higher-performing CPUs such as the Core i5-560UM and Celeron N2808. Despite its low power consumption and adequate performance for basic workloads, the J3160’s lack of modern features like AVX512 and its limited cache hierarchy make it less competitive in today’s market.

The J3160 supports a wide range of x86 extensions, including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, and AVX2, along with AES-NI for encryption tasks. It also includes Intel’s Enhanced SpeedStep technology, allowing dynamic frequency scaling to conserve power. However, it lacks support for ECC memory and does not include a locked clock multiplier, limiting overclocking potential.

Overall, the Intel Celeron J3160 is best suited for lightweight desktops, embedded systems, or low-cost builds where power efficiency and cost are prioritized over raw performance. While it has aged well in terms of efficiency, its performance now places it firmly in the lower tier of modern CPUs, suitable only for basic computing needs.
