Celeron G5905 vs Core i3-4170 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4170 performs better than the Celeron G5905. Despite this, the Celeron G5905 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-4170 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4170 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G5905. The Core i3-4170 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.

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.
