A4-3300M vs Celeron 2957U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A4-3300M is faster than the Celeron 2957U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron 2957U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Celeron 2957U outputs less heat than A4-3300M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A4-3300M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
