Celeron N2840 vs Celeron N3050 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N3050 beats the Celeron N2840 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N2840 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron N2840 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3050. The Celeron N3050 outputs less heat than Celeron N2840 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron N2840 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
