Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Owners like it for basic office tasks and media PCs where it runs cool and does the job. They gripe that it feels slow for anything beyond light use and the two cores show their age.

Pros
  • Cheap chip for basic office work
  • Stays cool on a tiny cooler
  • Handles web browsing without lag
  • Draws very little power from the wall
Cons
  • Only two cores for modern multitasking
  • No hyperthreading hurts background tasks seriously
  • Integrated graphics is barely usable for video
Verdict

Our verdict on the Celeron G5925

An entry-level dual-core desktop CPU from 2020, its main caveat is feeling painfully slow for anything beyond basic office tasks.

Get it if you need the cheapest possible chip for a basic office PC or home server that does one thing at a time. Skip it if you plan to multitask, game, or do anything beyond light web browsing and document editing.

Buy it if…

  • You need a cheap office PC for web browsing and spreadsheets.
  • You want a budget home server that sips power and stays cool.
  • You are building a basic media player that will never play games.
