Intel Celeron G1840 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Celeron G1840 vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 beats the Celeron G1840 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron G1840 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G1840 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G1840. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G1840 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q6600. A Celeron G1840 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Celeron G1840

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