Celeron N4500 vs Core i3-3240T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3240T performs better than the Celeron N4500. Despite this, the Celeron N4500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-3240T has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3240T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4500. A Celeron N4500 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3240T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 N4500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
