Celeron G1840 vs Core i3-3130M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3130M beats the Celeron G1840 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron G1840 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-3130M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G1840 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-3130M. The Core i3-3130M outputs less heat than Celeron G1840 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Celeron G1840 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
