Celeron G3920 vs Core i5-3230M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G3920 is faster than the Core i5-3230M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3230M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-3230M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G3920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3230M. The Core i5-3230M outputs less heat than Celeron G3920 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron G3920 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
