Celeron G550 vs Athlon II X2 245 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G550 performs better than the Athlon II X2 245. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X2 245 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon II X2 245 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G550. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X2 245 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron G550

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 G550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
