Intel Celeron N4120 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Celeron N4120 vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N4120 performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q6600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q6600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120. A Celeron N4120 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron N4120 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
