The Intel Celeron N3050 and N3060 belong to the 14-nanometer “Braswell” processor family and bottom of Intel’s laptop CPU lineup. The dual-core chips are clocked at 1.6GHz base speed. The boost speed on the N3050 goes up to 2.16GHz, while the N3060 can go up to 2.48GHz. Regardless of the clock speed differences, both chips perform similarly, with the N3060 being only a tad faster. Generally, the CPUs are suitable only for the basic home and office computing operations, very similar to the popular and older 22-nanometer series. As same as the other Braswell parts, the Celeron N3050 and N3060 consume 6 Watts of power, as opposed to 7.5W of Bay Trail CPUs.
Therefore, they are power-efficient processors and that’s their best feature besides low cost. The chips are used in various budget notebook PCs, especially those with small displays and casings. Intel Celeron N3050 / N3060 Benchmark Real-World Use Test. We have tested the Celeron N3050 in an HP 15 laptop configuration with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB 5,400rpm hard drive. As noted previously, the N3060 runs only slightly faster. The difference isn’t noticeable during real-world computing activities.
As you can see in the video, the N3050 paired with 4GB of system memory can handle the daily tasks well. It provides sufficient power for running multiple web browser tabs with heavy web pages opened, Office applications, and even some photo and video editing.
However, applying image adjustments and effects and video exports take some time, so the CPU definitely isn’t recommended for that type of activity on regular basis. With the current video drivers, the chip has some high-definition video playback issues. For instance, playing 1080p and 4K YouTube videos VLC Media Player program and in Google Chrome web browser produces very high CPU loads and dropped video frames. On the other hand, in Microsoft Edge browser these videos run smooth with much lower CPU load. Also, the reviewed N3050 and its Intel HD integrated graphics struggled with running most of the popular games, even some relatively light titles.
Again, future driver updates might bring improved gaming performance, but currently you can play without big lags only League of Legends and Minecraft among the blockbuster games. We have also tested Dota 2, Skyrim, and Counter Strike GO. The processor and its IGP weren’t able to achieve gameplay at above 20 fps in these games. Temperatures were quite low, even during heavy 10-minute CPU load while converting a video file with 100% CPU utilization. The CPU temp was 46 degrees Celsius on idle and up to 57 degrees during the video conversion. Check out systems with the.

No, you can not play high-quality games or use it for auto cad. It’s supposed to be a simple notebook for simple tasks, like web browsing, email, youtube videos, writing, just simple tasks. For the price, it’s not bad at all. However, you need more memory than the standard 2 GB if you’re going to use Windows 10, and install a solid state drive to speed things up. I personally would upgrade the memory to the max, install an SDD hard drive, and ditch windows for a lightweight Linux distribution.
Windows like to gobble up RAM. A lightweight Linux Distro would cut all the fat from the OS, keeping things light on memory consumption and without unnecessary running tasks; like what windows is good for; you have plenty of RAM and processing power to get things done. You’ll have trouble with Windows 10 on this system because of the Antivirus program constantly running in the background, scanning every file.
You don’t need to use an Antivirus in Linux, saving processing power and RAM. The Atom Z8300 is slightly faster, primarily due to number of cores. But, the Celeron N3050 is clocked higher, so difference in everyday tasks is barely noticeable (1200 vs 950 PassMark CPU test points isn’t a huge gap).
On the other hand, the N3050 has dual-channel memory support, whereas the Z8300 is single-channel only. This can make a noticeable difference in gaming in favor of the N3050, if you get a laptop with it and 2 RAM modules.
Still, only select light games are supported in both cases. I’m running Ubuntu Linux (with XFCE) on this processor with only 2GB RAM. It performs extremely well with Youtube, Chrome browser and VLC. Netflix in Chrome is perfect. I think most of the problems with this processor, especially with lower amounts of RAM, come from the high overhead of the Windows operating system.
Linux takes up less than 1/3rd of the space on the SSD compared to Windows and loads in seconds. Ok, you’re not going to be playing games on a N3050 machine but for just about everything else, it’s fine.
