Celeron J3455 vs A9-9420 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron J3455 is faster than the A9-9420. Despite this, the A9-9420 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A9-9420 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A9-9420. Our comparison shows that the A9-9420 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455.

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 J3455 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
