Intel Core i3-2130 vs Intel Celeron J6412

Core i3-2130 vs Celeron J6412 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2130 beats the Celeron J6412 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J6412 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 i3-2130 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2130 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J6412. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than Core i3-2130 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-2130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
