Celeron 6305 vs Core i7-5500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5500U is faster than the Celeron 6305. Despite this, the Celeron 6305 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-5500U has more threads.

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.
