Intel Celeron J3455 vs Intel Core i3-3220

Celeron J3455 vs Core i3-3220 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3220 beats the Celeron J3455 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3220. Indeed, the Celeron J3455 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3220. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455. A Celeron J3455 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3220 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.
