Intel Celeron J4125 vs Intel Core i3-3220

Celeron J4125 vs Core i3-3220 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3220 performs better than the Celeron J4125. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J4125 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J4125 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3220. Indeed, the Celeron J4125 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3220. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J4125. A Celeron J4125 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3220 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 J4125 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
