Celeron G3930 vs Core i5-12500H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12500H performs better than the Celeron G3930. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G3930 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Celeron G3930 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G3930. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G3930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500H. The Core i5-12500H outputs less heat than Celeron G3930 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more L2 cache than the Celeron G3930. The Core i5-12500H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 G3930 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
