Core 2 Duo E8400 vs Celeron 7305 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Duo E8400 is faster than the Celeron 7305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron 7305 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron 7305 has significantly more cores with 5 cores compared to the Core 2 Duo E8400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E8400. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E8400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron 7305. The Celeron 7305 outputs less heat than Core 2 Duo E8400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E8400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron 7305

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 Core 2 Duo E8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
