Intel Core i3-4030U vs Intel Celeron G550

Core i3-4030U vs Celeron G550 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G550 beats the Core i3-4030U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4030U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4030U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G550 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U. A Core i3-4030U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G550 CPU because of its 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 i3-4030U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
