Celeron N4020 vs Core 2 Duo E8400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Duo E8400 beats the Celeron N4020 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E8400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4020. A Celeron N4020 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8400 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 N4020 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
