Intel Celeron N4120 vs Intel Core i7-4600U

Celeron N4120 vs Core i7-4600U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4120 is faster than the Core i7-4600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4600U 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 i7-4600U. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-4600U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4600U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120. A Celeron N4120 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4600U 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.
