Celeron N4100 vs Core i7-4500U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4500U is faster than the Celeron N4100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4100 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 i7-4500U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4500U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4100. A Celeron N4100 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4500U 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.
