Intel Celeron G4920 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Celeron G4920 vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 performs better than the Celeron G4920. Despite this, the Celeron G4920 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G4920 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G4920. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G4920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q6600. A Celeron G4920 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron G4920

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Celeron G4920 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
