A6-7400K vs Celeron N4100 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N4100 performs better than the A6-7400K. Despite this, the A6-7400K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A6-7400K that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-7400K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-7400K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 outputs less heat than A6-7400K 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 A6-7400K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
