Celeron N4120 vs Core i7 Q 720 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7 Q 720 is faster than the Celeron N4120. Despite this, the Celeron N4120 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7 Q 720 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7 Q 720 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4120.

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.
