Intel Celeron N4020 vs Intel Core i3-4020Y

Celeron N4020 vs Core i3-4020Y comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4020Y beats the Celeron N4020 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron N4020 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-4020Y has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4020Y has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4020. The Core i3-4020Y outputs less heat than Celeron N4020 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron N4020 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
