Core i3-6006U vs Celeron J3455 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6006U is faster than the Celeron J3455. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-6006U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6006U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455. The Celeron J3455 outputs less heat than Core i3-6006U 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 i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
