Celeron N3060 vs Core i3-2370M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2370M beats the Celeron N3060 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3060 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2370M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2370M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3060. A Celeron N3060 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2370M 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 N3060 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
