Celeron N4120 vs Core i3-1005G1 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1005G1 performs better than the Celeron N4120. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4120 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron N4120 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-1005G1 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-1005G1 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4120. A Celeron N4120 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-1005G1 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.
