Community Feedback
What Owners Say
Owners like it for basic office tasks and media PCs because it sips power and stays cool. The usual gripe is that it feels sluggish with anything beyond light multitasking.
Pros
- Sips power, runs silent and cool
- Plays media without stuttering
- Handles office tasks easily enough
- Works with cheap, basic motherboards
Cons
- Two cores severely limit multitasking
- No real overclocking headroom
- Integrated graphics barely handles video playback
Verdict
Our verdict on the Celeron G5905T
A dual-core, four-thread Comet Lake chip meant for basic office PCs, held back by its lack of hyper-threading and integrated UHD graphics.
Get it if you need the cheapest possible chip for a basic office PC or home server that won't do anything demanding. Skip it if you plan to multitask, game, or run modern software—it's painfully slow even for web browsing.
Buy it if…
- You need a low-cost office PC for basic web browsing and email.
- You're building a silent home theater PC that sips power.
- You want an ultra-budget file server or network-attached storage box.
