Celeron G5905 vs Core 2 Quad Q9650 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Quad Q9650 is faster than the Celeron G5905. Despite this, the Celeron G5905 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9650 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Celeron G5905 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G5905. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G5905 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q9650. A Celeron G5905 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9650 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Celeron G5905 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
