AMD has recently dominated Intel on the laptop CPU market’s budget side, and their costly Ice Lake processors have not been that compelling. In contrast, the Ryzen 3000U series at ultra-low prices has attracted many people, including big clients and OEMs.
Even Chromebooks these days run on Ryzen processors; Intel needs to do something to recover its image as the dominator in this budget segment. Maybe this is the reason why they introduced the world with their new Jasper Lake-based Pentium and Celeron CPUs built on 10nm Tremont architecture.
This is the first time we have an actual leak of these new processors and has been spotted by none other than @TUM_APISAK. The desktop range for the Jasper Lake processors uses a modest 10W TDP, while the mobile range will be using 6W TDP, and each of the ranges will have 3 processors with almost similar naming schemes.
So, the tipster has found the Celeron N5105 quad-core CPU on Userbenchmark, and this is indeed a low power consuming desktop CPU. The Celeron N5105 is a 4 core, 4 thread processor clocked at 2.0GHz base and up to 2.8GHz (max quad-core burst). It also comes equipped with Intel UHD Graphics, 4M L2 cache.
Intel had been lazy to offer 4 cores at budget, but with fanless Jasper Lake-based CPUs, we could actually see a change. If you see the CPU’s performance, it is not meant for heavy workloads or such, but it seems like for casual work, browsing, and daily usage, this CPU indeed makes sense.
These new Intel Jasper Lake processors are expected to launch early next year and with this leak, it seems confirmed.
