Intel Celeron J4125 vs AMD Athlon II X4 651

Celeron J4125 vs Athlon II X4 651 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X4 651 beats the Celeron J4125 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J4125 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X4 651 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J4125.

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 J4125 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
