Celeron G5905 vs Core i7-2630QM specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-2630QM beats the Celeron G5905 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron G5905 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-2630QM 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 significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-2630QM. The Core i7-2630QM 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.
