Intel Core i3-6006U vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i3-6006U vs Celeron N4100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6006U beats the Celeron N4100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4100 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6006U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6006U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 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.

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 i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
