Celeron G4920 vs Core i7-5500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5500U is faster than the Celeron G4920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G4920 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-5500U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G4920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5500U. The Core i7-5500U 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Celeron G4920 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
