Intel Celeron G4920 vs Intel Core i7-870

Celeron G4920 vs Core i7-870 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-870 is faster than the Celeron G4920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G4920 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-870 has significantly more cores than the Celeron G4920. Indeed, the Core i7-870 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron G4920. It also has more threads than the Celeron G4920. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G4920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-870. A Celeron G4920 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-870 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
