Intel Celeron J3455 vs Intel Core i7-8500Y

Celeron J3455 vs Core i7-8500Y specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron J3455 is faster than the Core i7-8500Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8500Y 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 i7-8500Y. Indeed, the Celeron J3455 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-8500Y. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Celeron J3455 and Core i7-8500Y are identical in this regard. The Core i7-8500Y outputs less heat than Celeron J3455 thanks to a 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.
