Celeron N4000 vs Core i3-4160 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4160 is faster than the Celeron N4000. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4000 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-4160 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4160 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4000. A Celeron N4000 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4160 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 N4000 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
