Celeron J4125 vs Core i3-2100 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2100 beats the Celeron J4125 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J4125 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron J4125 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-2100 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-2100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron J4125. A Celeron J4125 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2100 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 J4125 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
