Celeron G5905 vs Athlon X4 870K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G5905 beats the Athlon X4 870K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 870K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Athlon X4 870K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G5905. A Celeron G5905 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 870K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 G5905 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
