Celeron G1840 vs Core i5-3317U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3317U performs better than the Celeron G1840. 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 i5-3317U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G1840 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3317U. The Core i5-3317U 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.
