Celeron G5905 vs Core i3-4160 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G5905 is faster than the Core i3-4160. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4160 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4160 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G5905. The Core i3-4160 outputs less heat than Celeron G5905 thanks to a slightly 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.
