Intel® Celeron® 2970M

The Intel Celeron 2970M is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads, built on the Haswell architecture. It launched in Apr 2014. A 2-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.4 MB per core). Maximum addressable memory is 32 GB. The chip drops into the FCPGA946 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 37 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Celeron 2970M scores 1,245 in single-core performance and 1,501 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,367 for overall performance, 2,719 for productivity performance, 3,067 for creator performance, 1,398 for engineering performance and 4,110 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 751 per core, 751 per thread and 41 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 225. Its performance index is 17, so its overall performance is 83% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Celeron 2970M.

The Intel Celeron 2970M has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz.

The Intel Celeron 2970M is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Celeron family, uses the Haswell architecture, carries the codename Haswell and is manufactured on a 22 nm process. It launched in Apr 2014.

The Intel Celeron 2970M has 256 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 2.8 MB of cache, or 1.38 MB per core.

The Intel Celeron 2970M has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 2 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 73% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Celeron 2970M addresses up to 32 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels.

The Intel Celeron 2970M includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics for 4th Generation Intel Processors) and clocks the graphics up to 1.10 GHz.

The Intel Celeron 2970M uses the FCPGA946 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.
