Intel Celeron J3455 vs Intel Core i3-5010U

Celeron J3455 vs Core i3-5010U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-5010U 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 Core i3-5010U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-5010U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455. A Celeron J3455 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-5010U CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
