Celeron G1610 vs Core 2 Duo E8400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G1610 beats the Core 2 Duo E8400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E8400 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Duo E8400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron G1610. A Celeron G1610 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 G1610 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
