Celeron G4920 vs Core i5-2450M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2450M performs better than the Celeron G4920. Despite this, the Celeron G4920 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-2450M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G4920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2450M. The Core i5-2450M outputs less heat than Celeron G4920 thanks to a significantly 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.
