Intel Core i3-3220 vs Intel Celeron J6412

Core i3-3220 vs Celeron J6412 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron J6412 performs better than the Core i3-3220. Despite this, the Core i3-3220 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron J6412 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-3220 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J6412. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than Core i3-3220 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 i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
