A 46W dual-core LGA1700 chip with built-in Intel UHD Graphics 710, so it runs a display without a graphics card.
Quick Specs
- 2 cores, 2 threads at 3.4GHz
- Intel UHD Graphics 710, up to 4 displays
- 4MB Intel Smart Cache
- 46W processor base power
- Supports DDR5-4800 and DDR4-3200, up to 128GB
For Office, School and Basic Home PCs
The Celeron G6900 is an entry-level Alder Lake processor for budget desktops that handle web browsing, documents, video calls and media streaming. Its built-in Intel UHD Graphics 710 drives up to four displays, supports DirectX 12 and includes Quick Sync Video for hardware video decoding and encoding, so you do not need a graphics card for everyday use. The motherboard's video outputs set which connections you get, with the chip supporting HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a. At 46W base power it runs cool, which suits compact cases and small office machines. It works with both DDR4 and DDR5 LGA1700 boards.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
With two cores, two threads, no Turbo Boost and no Hyper-Threading, this chip is not meant for gaming, video editing or heavy multitasking; a Core i3 or Core i5 is a better starting point for those. The integrated graphics handle office and multimedia work, not modern 3D games. What it does offer is an affordable way onto the LGA1700 platform: you can start with the Celeron now and later drop in a faster 12th, 13th or 14th Gen Core processor on the same motherboard, provided the board's BIOS supports it. That makes it a sensible placeholder chip for a build you plan to upgrade.

Why Intel?
Intel has designed desktop processors for decades, and its LGA1700 platform spans everything from budget Celerons to high-end Core i9 chips. The Celeron G6900 is the entry point to that platform for simple, low-power PCs.

Questions
Before you buy
Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the LGA1700 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
2 cores and 2 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 46W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
No - this processor has integrated graphics, so it will drive a display on its own. You still want a graphics card for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, but the machine will boot and run without one.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
