Celeron G6900 vs Athlon Gold 7220U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon Gold 7220U performs better than the Celeron G6900. Despite this, the Celeron G6900 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Athlon Gold 7220U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G6900 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 7220U. The Athlon Gold 7220U outputs less heat than Celeron G6900 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Celeron G6900 has more L2 cache than the Athlon Gold 7220U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron G6900 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
