Intel Core i3-5005U vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i3-5005U vs Celeron N5105 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5105 beats the Core i3-5005U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-5005U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-5005U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i3-5005U and Celeron N5105 have the same clock speed. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i3-5005U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-5005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
