It's a very basic CPU we're talking about here. The average N4120 in our database is not much faster than AMD's Zen-based, affordable and energy-efficient Athlon Silver 3050e dual-core processor, as far as multi-thread loads are concerned, with Intel Celeron 6305 and Intel Core i5-7Y54 also sitting close nearby. Compared to the older Goldmont cores in Apollo Lake, they feature an increased level 2 cache (to 4 MB). That means the per-clock-performance should be a bit better, but not near the Core CPUs like Kaby Lake Y. The processor architecture ist still called Goldmont Plus. The SoC is not replaceable as it is directly soldered to the mainboard. Besides four CPU cores, the chip also includes a DirectX 12 capable GPU as well as a DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel, up to 2400 MHz). Similar to the Apollo Lake predecessors, the chip is manufactured in a 14 nm process with FinFETs but offers slightly improved processor cores, double the amount of L2 cache, a smaller package, a new generation of monitor outputs (Gen 10) and a partly integrated WiFi chip. Compared to the predecessor, the Celeron N4100, the refresh offers a 200 MHz higher Boost clock. It runs at 1.1-2.6 GHz (Single Core Burst) and is based on the Gemini Lake platform. The Intel Celeron N4120 is a quad-core SoC primarily for inexpensive notebooks and was announced late 2019. Intel Celeron N4120 ► remove from comparison
