Intel Celeron 6305 vs Intel Core i5-1235U

Celeron 6305 vs Core i5-1235U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1235U beats the Celeron 6305 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron 6305 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Celeron 6305 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron 6305.

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