Celeron N4500 vs Pentium 3556U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 3556U 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 Pentium 3556U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4500. A Celeron N4500 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium 3556U 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.
