A US$42 Alder Lake Celeron CPU packs enough grunt to match Intel Core i9-10900K’s single-core performance

A Geekbench 5 entry for Intel’s cheapest Alder Lake processor, the Celeron G6900, has shown that despite the chip’s meager specifications, it matches or slightly beats the Intel Core i9-10900K in single-core performance. The results are surprising since the Celeron G6900 only has an MSRP of US$42.
