Celeron N4120 vs PRO A8-8600B comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N4120 performs better than the PRO A8-8600B. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8600B 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 PRO A8-8600B. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the PRO A8-8600B. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the PRO A8-8600B has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120.

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.
