Celeron N5105 vs FX-870K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N5105 performs better than the FX-870K. Despite this, the FX-870K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the FX-870K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-870K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5105.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Celeron N5105 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
