Celeron 6305 vs Core i7-8500Y specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron 6305 beats the Core i7-8500Y in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8500Y in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8500Y 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.
