Intel Celeron J4125 vs Intel Core i7-4600U

Celeron J4125 vs Core i7-4600U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron J4125 performs better than the Core i7-4600U. Despite this, the Core i7-4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J4125 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4600U. Indeed, the Celeron J4125 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-4600U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4600U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron J4125. A Celeron J4125 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4600U 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.
