Intel Celeron N5105 vs Intel Core i3-4160

Celeron N5105 vs Core i3-4160 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5105 beats the Core i3-4160 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-4160 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 Core i3-4160. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4160. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4160 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5105. A Celeron N5105 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4160 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 N5105 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
