Intel Celeron J3455 vs Intel Core i3-2120

Celeron J3455 vs Core i3-2120 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2120 beats the Celeron J3455 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-2120 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2120 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455. A Celeron J3455 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2120 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Celeron J3455 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
