Celeron N3450 vs Core i3-2130 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2130 beats the Celeron N3450 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3450 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron N3450 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-2130 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2130 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3450. A Celeron N3450 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2130 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Celeron N3450 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
