That means the per-clock-performance should be a bit better, but not anywhere near the Core CPUs like Kaby Lake Y. The processor architecture was slightly reworked and is now called Goldmont Plus. The SoC is not replaceable as it is directly soldered to the mainboard. Besides two 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). Partial Wi-Fi 5 support is baked into the chip. Similar to the Apollo Lake predecessor, the chip is manufactured on a 14 nm process with FinFETs but offers slightly improved processor cores, double the amount of L2 cache, all in a smaller package.
It runs at 1.1 GHz to 2.6 GHz (Single Core Burst, Multi Core Burst maxes out at 2.5 GHz) and is based on the Gemini Lake platform. The Intel Celeron N4000 is a dual-core SoC designed for affordable laptops and mini-PCs and was announced late 2017. Intel Celeron N4000 ► remove from comparison
