Intel Celeron N2840 vs Intel Core i7-2860QM

Celeron N2840 vs Core i7-2860QM benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2860QM is faster than the Celeron N2840. Despite this, the Celeron N2840 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-2860QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron N2840 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron N2840. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-2860QM has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N2840. A Celeron N2840 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2860QM 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 N2840 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
