What Owners Say

Owners say it’s cheap and fine for basic office work or a home server. The usual gripe is that it feels slow with anything beyond light multitasking.

Pros
  • Boots budget PCs instantly
  • Sips power, stays ice cold
  • Plays office apps smoothly
  • Upgrades easily to faster chips
Cons
  • Only two real cores total
  • Integrated graphics are very weak
  • No multithreading support at all
Verdict

Our verdict on the Celeron G6900

The Intel Celeron G6900 is a basic two-core desktop processor for budget builds, limited mainly by its lack of hyper-threading.

Get it if you're building the cheapest possible office PC or home server that just needs to run a single app at a time. Skip it if you plan to multitask, game, or do anything beyond basic web browsing and documents.

Buy it if…

  • You need the cheapest possible CPU to test a motherboard.
  • You are building a super low budget office PC for web browsing.
  • You want a basic home server that sips power and stays cool.
