What the Celeron 4305UE is
The Celeron 4305UE brings Whiskey Lake to embedded thin boards with two cores and no Turbo. It launched in the third quarter of 2018 with a fixed 2.0 GHz at 15 W. Intel lists it as Embedded for kiosks that need stable supply.
Two megabytes of cache support single app terminals. The fixed clock keeps timing predictable for control software. Two threads without Hyper-Threading cover foreground plus background services.
UHD Graphics 610 from 300 MHz to 1000 MHz with 12 execution units drive basic displays. The process is 14 nm per Intel ARK, not 10 nm as some lists show, and this page uses 14 nm. DDR4-2133 and LPDDR3-1866 in two channels suit cost sensitive boards.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 4305UE solders to BGA 1528 permanently. Embedded vendors tune 15 W with passive cooling for sealed kiosks. There is no socketed path.
Memory is DDR4-2133 or LPDDR3-1866 in two channels up to 64 GB. Soldered memory is common for cost reasons. The How to find your CPU socket type guide shows FCBGA1528 in specs.
Other BGA 1528 Core parts need more power and different firmware. Board replacement is required for changes.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2133 or LPDDR3-1866 in two channels up to 64 GB covers kiosk use. Small SSDs pair well with 4 GB of memory.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU feeds storage or board devices. Many kiosk boards use eMMC plus a single M.2. Layouts follow vendor manuals.
Passive conduction suits 15 W sealed boxes. No retail pattern exists.
Upgrade paths
Soldered BGA blocks upgrades. Larger storage where sockets allow extends terminal life. Full board refresh brings speed gains.
Within BGA 1528, Core i3 embedded parts add Hyper-Threading on the same package family where listed. Desktop Celeron G4900 parts give similar cores on LGA 1151 for towers.
Past BGA 1528 newer low power families need other sockets. The 4305UE covers basic embedded display where two cores must sip power.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Celeron 4305UE use?
It uses BGA 1528 soldered to the embedded board.
How many cores does the 4305UE have?
Two cores without Hyper-Threading give two threads. Fixed at 2.0 GHz.
What does the UE suffix mean?
The UE suffix marks embedded supply. The 4305U would be the non embedded twin where listed.
Which graphics does the 4305UE include?
UHD Graphics 610 from 300 MHz to 1000 MHz.
What memory does the 4305UE support?
DDR4-2133 or LPDDR3-1866 in two channels up to 64 GB.
