Intel Celeron N4120 vs Intel Core i3-4160

Celeron N4120 vs Core i3-4160 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4160 beats the Celeron N4120 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4120 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4120 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4160. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4160. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4160 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120. A Celeron N4120 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4160 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.
