Celeron N4120 vs Athlon II X2 245 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N4120 beats the Athlon II X2 245 in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon II X2 245 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N4120 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon II X2 245 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon II X2 245. Our comparison shows that the Athlon II X2 245 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120.

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 N4120 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
