Celeron G1840 vs Core i3-4160 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4160 performs better than the Celeron G1840. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G1840 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4160 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron G1840. A Celeron G1840 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4160 CPU because of its slightly 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.
