Celeron G1610 vs Core i5-4200U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4200U beats the Celeron G1610 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron G1610 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-4200U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G1610 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200U. The Core i5-4200U outputs less heat than Celeron G1610 thanks to a significantly 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.
