Intel Core i3-3227U vs Intel Celeron E3500

Core i3-3227U vs Celeron E3500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3227U performs better than the Celeron E3500. Despite this, the Celeron E3500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-3227U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron E3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3227U. A Core i3-3227U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron E3500 CPU because of its 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 i3-3227U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
