Celeron 2957U vs Pentium N3710 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron 2957U beats the Pentium N3710 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N3710 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium N3710 has significantly more cores than the Celeron 2957U. Indeed, the Pentium N3710 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron 2957U. It also has more threads than the Celeron 2957U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium N3710 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron 2957U. The Pentium N3710 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Celeron 2957U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
