What it is
Our main score for this model, 1–10. It combines specs, expert reviews, best-of lists and owners.
How we count it
Parts: Technical score 40%, Reviews score 25%, List score 25%, Sentiment score 10%
Marks: Each part gets a mark out of 10. For reviews, lists and owners, a typical model in this category gets about 8 and the best one gets 10.
No data yet: A part with no data shows "?". It counts as the mark of a weaker model in this category (4 in 5 models with data score higher). This way, models with reviews, lists and owners usually come out ahead.

What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.2 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Intel Celeron G4930

  • Affordable price point, making it a low-risk entry-level purchase.
  • Highly efficient for low-power applications like home file servers or NAS builds.
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 610 eliminates the need for a separate GPU in basic setups.
  • Runs cool and quiet with the included stock thermal solution.
  • Reliable for basic tasks such as web browsing, email, and 1080p video playback.
  • Supports ECC memory, which is a rare but valued feature for budget server builds.

What customers don't like about Intel Celeron G4930

  • Weak multitasking performance due to having only 2 cores and 2 threads without Hyper-Threading.
  • Not suitable for modern gaming; users report stuttering and low frame rates even on low settings.
  • Limited longevity as a primary desktop CPU because it struggles with heavy background processes and modern OS updates.
  • Outperformed by slightly more expensive Pentium or older i3 models that offer more threads.
  • High CPU usage (often reaching 100%) during routine tasks like driver installations or complex web pages.
  • Requires a specific Intel 300 Series chipset motherboard, limiting compatibility with older or newer boards.

Verdict

The Intel Celeron G4930 is an entry-level desktop processor from the Coffee Lake series, featuring 2 cores and 2 threads with a base clock speed of 3.20 GHz. Built on a 14nm lithography and utilizing the LGA 1151 socket, it includes 2 MB of Intel Smart Cache, a 54W TDP, and supports up to 64 GB of DDR4-2400 memory. Its main advantages include integrated Intel UHD Graphics 610 with 4K support at 60Hz, ECC memory compatibility, and low power consumption suitable for basic office tasks or home finances. However, it suffers from a lack of Turbo Boost technology, limited multitasking capabilities due to the absence of hyper-threading, and poor performance in modern gaming or resource-intensive applications.
