Some final benchmarks of the Celeron G3930 on Linux...

By now you get the picture of how a current $40 Kabylake processor performs. Those interested or wanting to run their own performance comparisons can see the OpenBenchmarking.org result file. Again, to compare your own Linux system(s) performance, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and then run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1701310-RI-INTELKABY71 for your own fully-automated, side-by-side performance comparison to the results found in this article.

For those interested in the Celeron G3930 if simply looking for a cheap processor and not concerned really about performance, this dual-core 2.9GHz CPU can be found at Amazon.com and NewEgg.com for around $40 USD. If you care a bit more about performance but still on a budget, there is the Kabylake Pentium G4600.
