I’m thinking of getting a new machine for Unity, and I’m on a tight budget.
Anyone know if the Celeron processor is enough? Or will there be obvious stuff I can’t do with a Celeron?
Thank you.
I’d say bare minimum get an i3 intel, or recent amd with quad core. It’ll work on celeron but boy oh boy it’ll slow you down.

A Celeron won’t prevent you from using any aspect of Unity, but the speed of your processor directly affects how long it takes for many tasks to complete with common examples being build times (compiling), baking lightmaps, importing and exporting assets, etc.

Unity is pretty light weight. It’s the actual games you make that need the power. So spec your system to play whatever game you are trying to make.
Except in the case of heavy editor scripts. I sometimes make super dumb slow long processing scripts in the editor that do things like generate big levels. This is something I couldn’t dare ask an android to do, but my computer can, even if it becomes a struggle.
But yes in most cases, matching your target specs is a good idea.
