Pros
- Cheap to buy and run all day
- Handles basic office tasks fine
- Stays cool without a loud fan
- Works with old cheap motherboards
Cons
- Only two physical cores
- No hyperthreading for multitasking
- Integrated GPU is very weak
Verdict
Our verdict on the Celeron G3930T
A dual-core Kaby Lake chip for basic office PCs, held back by its low power and no hyperthreading.
Get it if you need the cheapest possible CPU for a basic office PC or home server that runs cool and quiet. Skip it if you plan to do anything beyond web browsing or light document work, as it will feel painfully slow.
Buy it if…
- You need a dirt cheap office PC for basic web browsing and email.
- You’re building an ultra-low-power home server or NAS.
- You want a tiny, silent living-room PC that sips electricity.
