Celeron 6305 vs Core i3-3240 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3240 beats the Celeron 6305 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron 6305 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-3240 has more threads.

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