Celeron N5105 vs Core i7-950 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5105 beats the Core i7-950 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-950 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-950 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-950 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N5105. A Celeron N5105 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-950 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.
