Intel Core i3-4130 vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i3-4130 vs Celeron N5105 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N5105 performs better than the Core i3-4130. Despite this, the Core i3-4130 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4130. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4130. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4130 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N5105. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i3-4130 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 i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
