Celeron G5905 vs Athlon X4 860K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 860K is faster than the Celeron G5905. Despite this, the Celeron G5905 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Athlon X4 860K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 860K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G5905. A Celeron G5905 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K 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 G5905 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
