Pros

Cons
- Only two cores for modern multitasking
- Integrated graphics too weak for gaming
- No real overclocking headroom
Verdict
Our verdict on the Celeron G3900E
An entry-level Skylake dual-core chip for basic office tasks, held back by lacking hyper-threading support.
Get it if you need a dirt-cheap CPU for a basic office PC or a low-power embedded system that won't be pushed hard. Skip it if you plan to multitask, game, or run anything beyond light web browsing and document editing.
Buy it if…
- You want a cheap office PC for web browsing and email.
- You need a low-wattage CPU for a basic home server.
- You are building a retro Windows 7 gaming machine.
