Celeron N5095 vs Core i7-960 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-960 performs better than the Celeron N5095. Despite this, the Celeron N5095 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-960 has more threads. A Celeron N5095 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-960 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 N5095 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
