Third-party reviews

What we like about Intel Celeron N2808

  • Extremely low power consumption (4.3W TDP) allows for fanless, compact laptop designs.
  • Adequate performance for very basic everyday tasks like web browsing, emails, and light office work.
  • Improved performance-per-clock over older Intel Atom predecessors like the N2800.
  • Supports hardware acceleration features such as Intel Quick Sync and Wireless Display.
  • Cost-effective solution for ultra-budget notebooks and educational devices.

What we don't like about Intel Celeron N2808

  • Poor performance in multitasking; struggles with having multiple tabs or programs open simultaneously.
  • Highly unsuitable for modern gaming, streaming, or heavyweight software.
  • Weak integrated graphics with only 4 Execution Units (EUs), making it slower than older HD Graphics 4000.
  • Lack of Hyper-Threading technology limits the efficiency of its two physical cores.
  • Outdated 22nm architecture and small cache (1MB L2) lead to frequent system slowdowns.
  • No upgrade path as the processor is typically soldered (BGA) to the motherboard.

Verdict

The Intel Celeron N2808 is an entry-level dual-core SoC from the Bay Trail-M platform, launched in late 2014 and based on the 22nm Silvermont architecture. It features a base clock speed of 1.58 GHz with a burst frequency up to 2.25 GHz, 1 MB of L2 cache, and integrated Intel HD Graphics (311–792 MHz). A primary advantage of this processor is its extremely low power consumption, with a TDP of just 4.5W and an SDP of 3W, making it ideal for fanless, ultra-portable notebooks and providing excellent battery efficiency for basic tasks like web browsing or office work. However, its main drawbacks include very limited performance for modern multitasking or complex software, a lack of Hyper-Threading, and integrated graphics that struggle with anything beyond very old or undemanding games.
