Celeron N4100 vs Core 2 Duo E8400 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Celeron N4100 beats the Core 2 Duo E8400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E8400 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core 2 Duo E8400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E8400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E8400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. A Celeron N4100 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.
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 N4100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
