What the Celeron G3920 is
The Celeron G3920 brings Skylake to LGA 1151 for office desktops with DDR4. It launched in late 2015 with two cores at a fixed 2.9 GHz and 51 W. Intel targets task workers who need basic browsing and documents.
Two megabytes of Smart Cache carry light tasks. The fixed clock suits predictable loads. Two threads cover a browser plus background services.
HD Graphics 510 drive office displays and video calls without a discrete card. The process is 14 nm. The multiplier is locked. DDR4-1866 and 2133 plus DDR3L in two channels feed the chip with up to 64 GB and ECC.
Shops value the part for fleets where price matters. The 51 W rating fits slim towers. A boxed stock cooler ships with retail packs. ECC support suits entry workstations that need memory safety.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Celeron G3920 fits LGA 1151 on 100 series boards with DDR4 or DDR3L slots. H110 and B150 boards list Celeron parts with display outputs. Makers add Skylake IDs with late 2015 BIOS builds.
LGA 1150 boards cannot take this chip. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide details matching.
Single socket desktops are the deployment. Growth means another LGA 1151 chip on the same board where listed.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-1866 and 2133 in two channels suit office desktops with SSDs. Matched pairs help HD graphics. Start with 4 GB for task work.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU serves board slots. Most builds use integrated graphics. Chipset lanes add storage and USB.
Cooling uses the LGA 1151 mount from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide. The boxed cooler runs quietly. ECC guards memory on boards that wire it.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Celeron G3900 trims to 2.8 GHz at the same 51 W for entry desks. The Intel Pentium G4400 moves to 3.3 GHz with more cache. Both share LGA 1151 boards.
Core i3-6100 adds threads for heavier multitasking.
Past offices move to Kaby Lake Celeron parts. The G3920 covers late 2015 desks where two basic cores with ECC must deploy.
