Intel Core i3-6006U vs Intel Celeron G1610

Core i3-6006U vs Celeron G1610 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G1610 is faster than the Core i3-6006U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6006U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-6006U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G1610 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6006U. A Core i3-6006U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G1610 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 i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
