Core i3-2120 vs Celeron J6412 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Celeron J6412 beats the Core i3-2120 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2120 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron J6412 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-2120 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2120 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J6412. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than Core i3-2120 thanks to a 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. Indeed, the Core i3-2120 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
