Celeron N3450 vs Pentium B940 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium B940 beats the Celeron N3450 in overall performance. 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 Pentium B940. Indeed, the Celeron N3450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium B940. It also has more threads than the Pentium B940. Our comparison shows that the Pentium B940 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3450. A Celeron N3450 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium B940 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.
