Core i3-1215U vs Celeron J6412 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1215U is faster than the Celeron J6412. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J6412 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores than the Celeron J6412. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Celeron J6412. It also has more threads than the Celeron J6412. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron J6412 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than Core i3-1215U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache than the Celeron J6412. The Core i3-1215U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
