What the Celeron G4900T is
The Celeron G4900T pairs two Coffee Lake cores without Hyper-Threading for basic towers. It launched in April 2018 with a fixed 2.9 GHz and no Turbo Boost at 35 W. Intel positions T suffix parts for small offices that need full desktop features with less heat.
Two megabytes of Smart Cache support single app terminals. The fixed clock keeps behavior predictable for kiosk images. Two threads cover foreground work plus background updates.
UHD Graphics 610 from 350 MHz to 1000 MHz drive office displays. The process is 14 nm and the multiplier is locked. ECC memory is supported where workstation boards wire it.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The G4900T fits LGA 1151 on revision 2 boards only. H310 boards suit small towers with 35 W cooling. Z370 class boards may need a BIOS update for 8th Gen IDs. Revision 1 boards never support it.
DDR4-2400 in two channels up to 64 GB per Intel covers basic use, not 128 GB as some databases show. Matched pairs give dual channel speed. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide explains revision rules.
Single socket budget towers are the home. Another LGA 1151 chip on the same board adds headroom.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2400 in two channels up to 64 GB pairs with small SSDs for responsive offices. Start with 4 GB for single app terminals.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU feeds NVMe or a basic card. Most Celeron builds rely on integrated graphics. Chipset lanes add the rest of I/O.
Low profile 35 W cooling from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide runs quietly. Keep vents clear in cabinet installs.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Celeron G4900 raises clocks to 3.1 GHz at 54 W for faster interaction. The Intel Pentium Gold G5400T adds Hyper-Threading at the same 35 W for multitasking. Both share 300 series boards.
Older Pentium parts lack UHD 610 efficiency for 4K video. They suit legacy terminals.
Past LGA 1151 budget towers move to LGA 1200. The G4900T covers low heat basic nodes where two cores must sip power.
