Can Intel Celeron N4120 Run Android Apps?

I want to run Android apps on a laptop under Win11. I read online that requires one of these 3 CPUs:
• Intel Core i3 8th Gen or above
• AMD Ryzen 3000 (min) or above
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 8c (min) or above

The laptop has an Intel Celeron N4120. Online, I found a comparison of it to a Intel Core i3-1005G1. The Core i3 was a little better, but not as much as I though it would be. Here's the comparison:

Why is Intel Core i3-1005G1 better than Intel Celeron N4120?

Anybody have any opinion on whether the Celeron can run Android apps?

Not to worry, the laptop's got 16 GB of RAM.

Thanks.

 

Try it and see. Nothing lost in trying.

 

I'm confused; which "flavor" of the Celeron N4120 are you referring to? There are several different "models" listed for the N4120. The "2 core" versions of the Celeron (it seems that is all there are) probably wouldn't even do justice to Windows 10, much less Windows 11.

 

The device specs just say

"Intel Celeron N4120 CPU @ 1.10 GHz 1.10 GHz".

The Intel Celeron N4120 has 4 cores with 4 threads and burst frequency up to 2.60GHz, and it's "based on the 9 Gen of the Intel Celeron series".

I can't find different versions of it online, but it runs Windows 11 Home v. 21H2, no problem. So I guess it qualifies as "Intel Core i3 8th Gen or above".

So, I'll try running Android apps on it. I'll let everybody know how that goes.

Thanks for replying.

 

I was going by the link you provided for the comparison, THAT link showed only 2 core Celerons, The original "specs" for Win 11 was written several years ago now, and has not been "updated," so it's quite possible newer processors will be compatible with Win 11 but are not included in the (very limited) list. Microsoft probably would be a more "up-to-date" answer to the question about newer processor types; they probably have a more extensive list of eligible processors than the "minimum" list. Also, some things, like secure boot, and TPM level are more the responsibility of the motherboard, not the processor itself, although they ARE "intertwined."
