Celeron 2957U vs Celeron N4000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4000 is faster than the Celeron 2957U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron 2957U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron 2957U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4000. The Celeron N4000 outputs less heat than Celeron 2957U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
