Celeron N4020 vs Core i3-2130 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2130 is faster than the Celeron N4020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2130 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2130 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4020. A Celeron N4020 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2130 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 N4020 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
