Celeron N5105 vs Xeon E5-2420 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2420 is faster than the Celeron N5105. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N5105 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2420 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron N5105. Our comparison shows that the Celeron N5105 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2420. A Celeron N5105 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2420 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
