AMD TURION II P540 VS INTEL I3 SERIES
Still, Gemini Lake Refresh series processors are not designed to compete with full-featured Core CPUs such as a Core m3-8100Y.Īn N4020 has 6 PCI-Express 2.0 lanes and Wi-Fi 5 support is partially built into the CPU. It features an enlarged 4 MB L2 cache for a marginally higher IPC compared to Gemini Lake's Goldmont. The processor architecture is still called Goldmont Plus. The SoC is not replaceable as it is supposed to be soldered to the motherboard. Other than the two CPU cores, the chip also features a DirectX 12 capable UHD Graphics series iGPU as well as a DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel, up to 2400 MHz). Just like the Apollo Lake models such as the N3350, an N4020 is manufactured on a 14 nm process with FinFETs but with slightly improved processor cores, double the amount of L2 cache, all in a smaller package. Compared to the predecessor, the Celeron N4000, the newer model offers a 200 MHz higher Boost clock. The Celeron was announced in Q4 2019 and its CPU cores run at 1.1 GHz to 2.8 GHz.

The Intel Celeron N4020 is an entry-level dual-core SoC of the Gemini Lake Refresh product family designed for affordable laptops and mini-PCs.
