Celeron 6305 vs Core i3-2120 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2120 is faster than the Celeron 6305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron 6305 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2120 has more threads.

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 6305 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
