Verdict

The Intel Celeron 3867U is an entry-level, dual-core mobile processor based on the Kaby Lake Refresh architecture, featuring a base clock speed of 1.80 GHz without Turbo Boost and a 15W TDP. It includes 2 MB of Intel Smart Cache, supports up to 32 GB of DDR4-2133 or LPDDR3-1866 RAM, and integrates Intel HD Graphics 610 with a dynamic frequency up to 900 MHz. Its primary strengths are its energy efficiency, which is suitable for ultra-portable laptops and basic office tasks, and its support for 4K video playback at 60Hz. However, it is hindered by poor multitasking performance due to the lack of Hyper-Threading, a low core count, and an inability to handle modern gaming or demanding creative software.

Intel Celeron 3867U Benchmarks - Geekbench Browser

The Intel Celeron 3867U is a Kaby Lake-based, entry-level ULV dual-core processor (1.80 GHz) designed for budget thin-and-light laptops, featuring no Turbo Boost or Hyper-Threading. According to Geekbench Browser data, the processor yields modest results, with average Single-Core scores around 341 and Multi-Core scores of approximately 704, placing it behind older Core i3 alternatives. Key pros include high power efficiency with a 15W TDP (configurable to 12.5W) for compact designs, support for up to 32GB DDR4-2133 memory, and Intel HD Graphics 610, which supports H.265/HEVC and VP9 video decoding for basic multimedia tasks. The chip enables adequate performance for everyday office applications and web browsing. Conversely, significant cons include limited performance for heavy multitasking due to the two-thread limitation and unsuitability for gaming, as the integrated 12-execution-unit GT1 graphics only manage older titles on low settings. Its performance limitations mean it cannot support demanding, modern software, restricting its use to basic, light usage scenarios. View the detailed benchmark data at Geekbench Browser.

Intel Celeron 3867U - LaptopMedia

The Intel Celeron 3867U is a 14nm dual-core Kaby Lake Refresh processor designed for budget, thin-and-light laptops, featuring a 15W TDP that can be configured down to 12.5W. Operating at a fixed 1.8 GHz, it lacks both Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading, focusing on efficiency over raw power. While it supports 4K 60Hz video via Intel HD Graphics 610, its performance is limited to basic tasks and web browsing. Pros include excellent power efficiency for long battery life and modern instruction sets like AES-NI. Conversely, the 3867U suffers from limited multitasking capabilities and weak integrated graphics (GT1) that cannot handle modern gaming. The lack of a turbo frequency means the 1.8 GHz cap can result in sluggish responsiveness during heavier workloads. According to Notebookcheck, the Celeron 3867U serves as a strictly entry-level option, with benchmarks placing it well below Core i3 alternatives of its time. It is best suited for essential computing needs where budget and thermal constraints are prioritized. For more details, visit Notebookcheck. Copy

CPU-Z Single-Thread Benchmark for Intel Celeron 3867U

The CPU-Z benchmark (7d2bdx/1) showcases the Intel Core i7-11700F, an 8-core, 16-thread "Rocket Lake" processor operating with a 2.50 GHz base clock and boosting up to 4.90 GHz. It delivers strong IPC gains with a single-thread score around 614 and a multi-thread score of approximately 5810, positioning it as a capable high-midrange component. Key advantages include native PCIe Gen 4 support, excellent multi-core performance for tasks like video editing, and a cost-effective, non-integrated graphics design. However, the processor is on the outdated LGA 1200 platform and features a locked multiplier, limiting upgrade paths and overclocking potential. It is also power-intensive, potentially drawing over 240 watts under load. Furthermore, newer 12th-generation i5 processors often outperform it in both single and multi-core tasks, making the i7-11700F a less future-proof option. For more details, visit CPU-Z Validator.

CPU-Z Benchmark for Intel Celeron 3867U (Single-Thread)

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, featured in the CPU-Z benchmark validation, is a 4nm Zen 5, 8-core/16-thread processor marketed as a top-tier gaming CPU with a 4.7 GHz base clock and 96MB of L3 cache. It features second-generation 3D V-Cache with a new, under-die placement for improved thermals, allowing for full overclocking support. Key advantages include unmatched gaming performance in CPU-bound scenarios, surpassing competitors at 1080p/1440p, alongside a 16% IPC uplift over the 7800X3D for productivity. It maintains compatibility with the AM5 socket, allowing for easy upgrades. Conversely, the 9800X3D carries a high premium price point, making it less attractive for non-gamers compared to higher core-count options. Despite improved efficiency, it draws 120W TDP and runs warmer, necessitating robust cooling. Additionally, with only 8 cores, its performance in heavily multi-threaded professional applications does not match flagship productivity processors. Copy

XIDU Tour Pro Review: An Affordable Ultraportable with Intel Celeron 3867U

The XIDU Tour Pro is a compact, 12.5-inch budget laptop featuring a solid, lightweight magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis and a high-resolution 2.5K (2560x1440) IPS touchscreen with slim bezels. Powered by an Intel Celeron 3867U processor with 8GB of RAM, it serves general productivity needs, with pros including a convenient M.2 SSD expansion slot, a fingerprint reader, and a fully functional USB-C port. However, the laptop has notable cons, specifically limited battery life (4.5 to 6.5 hours) and a frequently active, sometimes noisy cooling fan, along with a 720p webcam. Copy

Summary of the review

Intel Celeron 3867U | LaptopMedia Belgium - LaptopMedia

The Intel Celeron 3867U is a 14nm dual-core, dual-thread Kaby Lake Refresh processor launched in 2019, featuring a 1.80 GHz fixed clock speed, 2MB cache, and a 15W TDP. It is designed for entry-level tasks like web browsing and office applications, featuring Intel HD Graphics 610, but lacks Turbo Boost, limiting its performance in multitasking and modern gaming. The processor's primary strengths lie in its energy efficiency for budget notebooks and 4K capability, but it suffers from low processing power and limited performance in heavy applications.

Summary of the review

Intel Core m3-7Y30 Laptop Processor - Notebookcheck.net (Benchmarks vs Celeron 3867U)

The Intel Core m3-7Y30 is an efficient, dual-core Kaby Lake SoC with a 4.5W TDP, designed for fanless, ultra-portable devices. It features improved Speed-Shift technology for better responsiveness and supports modern video codecs (H.265/VP9), making it suitable for quiet, multimedia-focused, or office-oriented usage. While it offers high burst performance for short-term tasks, the chip struggles with sustained workloads, suffering a roughly 20% performance drop due to thermal throttling. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 615 is sufficient for daily use but unsuitable for gaming. The Cube Thinker laptop, which houses this processor, offers a solid aluminum chassis, a sharp 3:2 display, and a fanless, silent design. However, the device has significant drawbacks, including a relatively heavy weight (1.67 kg), the lack of an SD-card reader, and a missing keyboard backlight. Some units have also shown potential for lower-quality construction, such as loose displays caused by heat. Copy
