The Acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431-C7VZ comes with a quad core Intel Celeron N3160 processor.
Not the brightest, but certainly not the slowest, this CPU has 2 megabytes of L2 cache, a base clock rating of 1.6 GHz and a scenario design power of just 4 Watts.
The cache size is slightly on the low side, but the design power really makes up for it.
What this processor lacks in computing power, it makes up for with battery life duration.
Benchmark tests rate the N3160 at around 1200 points – enough juice to run file editing programs, to browse the internet, write emails and stream videos.
