Intel Celeron 2957U vs Intel Core i5-4460T

Celeron 2957U vs Core i5-4460T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4460T performs better than the Celeron 2957U. Despite this, the Celeron 2957U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4460T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron 2957U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron 2957U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4460T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron 2957U. A Celeron 2957U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4460T CPU because of its 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 Celeron 2957U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
