Intel Celeron N4020 vs Intel Pentium Silver N5000

Celeron N4020 vs Pentium Silver N5000 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Silver N5000 beats the Celeron N4020 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium Silver N5000 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron N4020 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron N4020. Both the Celeron N4020 and Pentium Silver N5000 have the same clock speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
