Celeron 2957U vs Core 2 Duo E7400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Duo E7400 beats the Celeron 2957U in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron 2957U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E7400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron 2957U. A Celeron 2957U CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7400 CPU because of its 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.
