Celeron G4920 vs Core i5-650 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-650 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 i5-650 has more threads. Both the Celeron G4920 and Core i5-650 have the same clock speed. A Celeron G4920 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-650 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Celeron G4920 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
