Celeron G1840 vs Core 2 Duo E8600 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G1840 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E8600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E8600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E8600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G1840. A Celeron G1840 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8600 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E8600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron G1840

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 G1840 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
