Celeron 2957U vs Athlon 64 X2 4000+ specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron 2957U performs better than the Athlon 64 X2 4000+. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 64 X2 4000+ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon 64 X2 4000+ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron 2957U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Celeron 2957U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
