Intel Celeron J3455 vs AMD Athlon II X2 245

Celeron J3455 vs Athlon II X2 245 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X2 245 beats the Celeron J3455 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon II X2 245 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon II X2 245. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X2 245 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455.

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