Intel Celeron N4120 vs Intel Celeron G550

Celeron N4120 vs Celeron G550 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4120 is faster than the Celeron G550. Despite this, the Celeron G550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4120 has significantly more cores than the Celeron G550. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron G550. It also has more threads than the Celeron G550. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G550 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120. A Celeron N4120 CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G550 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 N4120 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
