What the Celeron G3930T is
The Celeron G3930T is a two core, two thread desktop processor from Kaby Lake. It launched in January 2017 with a fixed 2.7 GHz at 35 W. Two cores cover thin office towers and embedded terminals where low heat matters more than speed.
Two megabytes of cache support single task work with security tools. The fixed clock keeps behavior steady for shared PCs. Thirty five watts fit small cases with modest cooling.
HD Graphics 610 with 12 execution units from 350 MHz to 1000 MHz drives office displays. Hardware video decode keeps playback off the CPU cores. There is no Hyper-Threading, so two threads map to two cores.
On 14 nm the G3930T serves low power desktops against the 51 W G3930. Intel aims T parts at small offices that need dual cores with minimal heat. ECC support suits entry servers where boards validate it.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The G3930T fits LGA 1151 revision 1 only. H110, B250 and H270 boards accept it natively, while 100 series boards may need a BIOS update for Kaby Lake. Revision 2 boards with 300 series chipsets never support it.
The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide explains revision 1 board matching. Makers list the G3930T on thin mini ITX support pages for 35 W builds.
The Celeron G3930 on the same socket adds 200 MHz at 51 W where power allows it. The Pentium Intel Pentium G4560 adds Hyper-Threading for multitasking towers.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2133 or DDR3L 1333/1600 in two channels up to 64 GB is the memory support. ECC works where boards validate it for entry servers. Two modules keep dual channel bandwidth for graphics.
Sixteen PCIe 3.0 lanes from the CPU feed a single slot or NVMe storage through board wiring. Office towers use integrated graphics for displays. Small SSDs cover boot images.
Thirty five watts cool with a low profile stock cooler. The 75 mm mounting pattern shares coolers with LGA 1155, 1150 and LGA 1200. Compact cases should keep intake clear.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket the step is a Pentium G4560 for threads or a Core i3-7100 for higher clocks, keeping board and DDR4. A Core i5-7400 adds four cores where multitasking grows.
Past LGA 1151 revision 1 the path needs a new board, since revision 2 changes electrical layout. Owners usually add SSDs and memory before CPU swaps.
