Celeron N3450 vs Core i5-4200U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4200U is faster than the Celeron N3450. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3450 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N3450 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4200U. Indeed, the Celeron N3450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4200U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4200U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3450. A Celeron N3450 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4200U 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 N3450 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
