Intel Celeron E3500 vs AMD Athlon II X2 240

Celeron E3500 vs Athlon II X2 240 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon II X2 240 is faster than the Celeron E3500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron E3500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X2 240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron E3500. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X2 240 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron E3500

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 E3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
