Intel Celeron N4120 vs Intel Core i3-2328M

Celeron N4120 vs Core i3-2328M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4120 is faster than the Core i3-2328M. Despite this, the Core i3-2328M 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 Core i3-2328M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2328M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120. A Celeron N4120 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2328M 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.
