Celeron G5905 vs Core i3-2100 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G5905 performs better than the Core i3-2100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2100 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2100 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G5905 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2100. A Celeron G5905 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2100 CPU because of its slightly 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.
