Intel® Celeron® 3205U

The Intel Celeron 3205U is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads, built on the Broadwell architecture. It launched in Jan 2015. A 2-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.3 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR3 memory up to 16 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1168 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (12 lanes). Rated TDP is 15 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Celeron 3205U scores 908 in single-core performance and 957 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 932 for overall performance, 1,893 for productivity performance, 2,161 for creator performance, 891 for engineering performance and 2,963 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 479 per core, 479 per thread and 64 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 241. Its performance index is 12, so its overall performance is 88% 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.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Celeron 3205U scores 3,086 in integer math, 2,854 in floating-point math, 16,452 in compression, 207 in cryptography, 122 in physics simulation, 583 in vector SIMD, 8 in the prime sieve and 2,104 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 95% below in integer math, 94% below in floating-point math, 93% below in compression, 98% below in cryptography, 89% below in physics simulation, 96% below in vector SIMD, 88% below in the prime sieve and 91% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Celeron 3205U 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 1.50 GHz.

The Intel Celeron 3205U is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Celeron family, uses the Broadwell architecture, carries the codename Broadwell and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2015.

The Intel Celeron 3205U has 128 KB of L1 cache, 512 KB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 2.6 MB of cache, or 1.31 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Celeron 3205U has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB, L2 at 512 KB and L3 at 2 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 76% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Celeron 3205U supports LPDDR3 memory, addresses up to 16 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and DDR4 memory.

The Intel Celeron 3205U includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics for 5th Generation Intel Processors) and clocks the graphics up to 0.80 GHz.

The Intel Celeron 3205U uses the FCBGA1168 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 12 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Celeron 3205U has a rated TDP of 15 W.
