Intel Celeron J3455 vs Intel Core i7-3517U

Celeron J3455 vs Core i7-3517U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3517U 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 i7-3517U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-3517U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron J3455. A Celeron J3455 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3517U 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.
