Celeron N4100 vs Core i3-4030U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4100 is faster than the Core i3-4030U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4030U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-4030U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4030U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4100. A Celeron N4100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4030U 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 N4100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
