Celeron N2840 vs Atom D2550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Atom D2550 is faster than the Celeron N2840. Despite this, the Celeron N2840 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Atom D2550 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron N2840 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Atom D2550.

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 N2840 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
