Intel Celeron N5105 vs AMD Athlon X4 860K

Celeron N5105 vs Athlon X4 860K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5105 beats the Athlon X4 860K in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon X4 860K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores than the Athlon X4 860K. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon X4 860K. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 860K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N5105. A Celeron N5105 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K 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 N5105 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
