Intel Celeron J3455 vs Intel Core 2 Duo E8600

Celeron J3455 vs Core 2 Duo E8600 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Duo E8600 performs better than the Celeron J3455. 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 Core 2 Duo E8600 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E8600. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Duo E8600 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron J3455. A Celeron J3455 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8600 CPU because of its significantly 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 J3455 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
