Celeron N2840 vs Celeron N3060 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N2840 beats the Celeron N3060 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3060 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron N2840 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron N3060. The Celeron N3060 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.

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