Intel Celeron J1900 vs Intel Core i3-3217U

Celeron J1900 vs Core i3-3217U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3217U performs better than the Celeron J1900. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J1900 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J1900 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3217U. Indeed, the Celeron J1900 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3217U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron J1900 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3217U. A Celeron J1900 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3217U CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 J1900 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
