Intel Celeron N3060 vs Intel Core i5-12500H

Celeron N3060 vs Core i5-12500H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12500H beats the Celeron N3060 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3060 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores than the Celeron N3060. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has 12 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron N3060. It also has more threads than the Celeron N3060. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-12500H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3060. A Celeron N3060 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-12500H CPU because of its significantly 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 N3060 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
