Celeron G3930 vs Core i7-4600U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G3930 beats the Core i7-4600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4600U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4600U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G3930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4600U. The Core i7-4600U outputs less heat than Celeron G3930 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 G3930 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
