Core i3-6006U vs Celeron N4020 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6006U is faster than the Celeron N4020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-6006U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6006U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4020. The Celeron N4020 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.
