What the Celeron G4930T is
The Celeron G4930T is a dual-core processor that Intel released in April 2019 for low power desktops. Its two cores run at a fixed 3.0 GHz with no Turbo Boost, so performance stays the same under every load. Cache is 2 MB of shared L3, which suits single office applications rather than heavy multitasking.
The 35 W rating is the defining trait of the T suffix. Intel also specifies a configurable TDP down to 25 W at 1.8 GHz for very small enclosures with limited airflow. The chip is built on the 14 nm process and its multiplier is locked.
Intel UHD Graphics 610 handles display output from 350 MHz to 1.0 GHz. Three displays can run from the motherboard outputs, which covers reception desks and call center rows without a separate card. Error correcting memory is supported up to 64 GB, a rare trait at this price.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The G4930T fits the LGA 1151 socket on revision 2 boards only. H310, B360, H370, Q370 and Z370 boards accept it, and B365 and Z390 boards take it with the shipping BIOS. Revision 1 boards with 100 or 200 series chipsets never support it, since the electrical layout changed between revisions.
H310 and B360 boards are the expected pairing for this chip. They provide the display outputs and USB ports an office PC needs while keeping board cost low. Q370 boards add management features for fleets of business PCs.
A Z series board adds little here because the multiplier stays locked. Before fitting the chip to early Z370 stock, check the maker CPU support list for the minimum BIOS. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide explains the revision split in more depth.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
The memory controller supports DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s over two channels, with an official ceiling of 64 GB. Two 8 GB modules give a comfortable office setup, and ECC modules are supported where the board wiring allows it. Faster kits fall back to supported speeds on boards without memory overclocking.
The processor supplies 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes for a discrete card or fast storage. Most G4930T systems run on integrated graphics alone, leaving the slot free for a network card or a serial card in business machines. Cooling uses the 75 mm LGA 1151 pattern described in the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide, and a small downdraft cooler is enough at 35 W.
The 25 W cTDP down mode matters for fanless thin clients and passively cooled enclosures, where the chip drops to 1.8 GHz to stay inside a smaller thermal budget. Chipset lanes on 300 series boards carry SATA drives and extra USB ports, so a basic SSD and a hard drive sit alongside the processor lanes without conflict.
Upgrade paths
Inside the same socket, the Pentium Gold G5420 adds two threads through Hyper-Threading at 54 W, while the Core i3-9100 in Intel Core i3-9100 form moves to four physical cores. Both drop into the same 300 series board after a BIOS check. The Intel Core i5-9400 brings six cores for desks that run heavier software.
Moving past LGA 1151 means a new board, since LGA 1200 takes different processors. For a silent office box the G4930T is usually the end of the road rather than a stepping stone, and a full platform change comes only when two cores stop being enough.
On the used market the G4930T often appears inside complete office systems rather than as a boxed part. Buyers should confirm the board is a 300 series model and that the cooler mounting matches the 75 mm pattern before moving the chip to another case.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Intel Celeron G4930T use?
It uses LGA 1151 on revision 2 boards with 300 series chipsets, written FCLGA1151 in Intel documents.
What does the T suffix mean on the G4930T?
The T suffix marks a 35 W low power version with a fixed 3.0 GHz clock. The plain G4930 runs at 3.2 GHz with a 54 W rating for standard desktops.
What memory does the G4930T support?
Officially up to DDR4-2400 over two channels, with a 64 GB ceiling. ECC modules are supported where the board allows it.
Does the G4930T run in a Z270 motherboard?
No. Z270 and other 100 and 200 series boards are revision 1 and never support Coffee Lake Celeron processors.
What is the G4930T suited to?
Office work, web terminals and media playback from integrated graphics. UHD 610 drives up to three displays without a separate card.
