Intel Celeron G4920 vs Intel Core i3-4160

Celeron G4920 vs Core i3-4160 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4160 beats the Celeron G4920 in overall performance. 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 i3-4160 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G4920. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 G4920 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
