Intel Celeron N3450 vs Intel Core i3-2310M

Celeron N3450 vs Core i3-2310M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N3450 beats the Core i3-2310M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2310M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N3450 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-2310M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2310M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3450. A Celeron N3450 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2310M 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.
