Intel Celeron N4100 vs Intel Core i3-3220

Celeron N4100 vs Core i3-3220 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3220 is faster than the Celeron N4100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4100 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3220. Indeed, the Celeron N4100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3220. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. A Celeron N4100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3220 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 N4100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
