Intel Celeron G4920 vs Intel Core i3-2120

Celeron G4920 vs Core i3-2120 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2120 is faster than the Celeron G4920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G4920 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2120 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2120 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G4920. A Celeron G4920 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2120 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
