Celeron N4500 vs A9-9420 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A9-9420 beats the Celeron N4500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A9-9420 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4500. A Celeron N4500 CPU outputs less heat than a A9-9420 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Celeron N4500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
