Intel Celeron J4125 vs Intel Core i7-3520M

Celeron J4125 vs Core i7-3520M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3520M 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron J4125 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-3520M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3520M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J4125. A Celeron J4125 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3520M 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.
