What the Celeron N2830 is
The Celeron N2830 is the mainstream Bay Trail-M dual core on BGA 1170 for value notebooks. It runs 2 cores and 2 threads at 2.16 GHz base with bursts to 2.41 GHz. One megabyte of L2 cache covers office apps. Power is 7.5 W on 22 nm from February 2014.
High base clocks for Bay Trail-M keep everyday work responsive without waiting for bursts. HD Graphics from 313 MHz to 750 MHz drives notebook panels for video. The 7.5 W envelope fits thin bodies with small fans. The soldered package means buyers choose screen and battery once.
DDR3L-1333 over two channels to 8 GB feeds cores and graphics. The N2830 covers family notebooks where sustained dual core speed must stay cheap.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The N2830 solders to BGA 1170 with 7.5 W notebook cooling. No later swap exists. Family bodies pair it with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB disks or small SSDs. Memory locks on soldered designs.
SoC USB and SATA serve peripherals. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered value notebooks.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3L-1333 over two channels to 8 GB suits family browsing. Paired SODIMMs help HD Graphics video. Eight gigabytes covers multitasking with an SSD.
PCIe 2.0 with 4 lanes serves Wi-Fi and storage. A SATA SSD transforms feel on high base clocks. Most builds stay integrated.
Cooling uses small fans for 7.5 W. Sustained 2.16 GHz holds on desks. Dust buildup trims bursts first.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Celeron N2807 at lower power below saves battery, while the Intel Celeron N2840 at 2.16 GHz to 2.58 GHz above adds burst. All share BGA-1170.
Braswell N3050 covers newer value notebooks. The N2830 holds mainstream Bay Trail-M duty.
