Celeron G3920 vs Core i7 Q 740 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G3920 is faster than the Core i7 Q 740. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 Q 740 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7 Q 740 has significantly more cores than the Celeron G3920. Indeed, the Core i7 Q 740 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron G3920. It also has more threads than the Celeron G3920. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G3920 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7 Q 740. The info from our database shows that the Core i7 Q 740 has more L2 cache than the Celeron G3920. The Core i7 Q 740 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
