Celeron N4500 vs Core i5-2450M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2450M is faster than the Celeron N4500. Despite this, the Celeron N4500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-2450M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2450M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4500. A Celeron N4500 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2450M 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 N4500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
