Intel Celeron G3930 vs Intel Core i7 Q 740

Celeron G3930 vs Core i7 Q 740 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G3930 beats the Core i7 Q 740 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 Q 740 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7 Q 740 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G3930 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G3930. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G3930 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 Q 740. In terms of cache, the Core i7 Q 740 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron G3930. 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 G3930 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
