2C/2T · 15 W

The Intel Celeron 5205U is the entry-level dual-core of Intel's 10th-generation Comet Lake-U family for thin and light laptops, arriving in late 2019 after the Core i3, i5 and i7 models announced that August. It omits Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost and runs at a fixed 1.9 GHz, and it powered budget Windows notebooks as well as Chromebooks such as the Acer Chromebook 712. It was followed in 2020 by the faster Celeron 5305U.
