Celeron G1840 vs Core i5-3210M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3210M is faster than the Celeron G1840. Despite this, the Celeron G1840 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-3210M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G1840 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3210M. The Core i5-3210M 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.
