Intel Core i3-6006U vs Intel Celeron N4120

Core i3-6006U vs Celeron N4120 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4120 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4120 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6006U. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6006U. 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 N4120. The Celeron N4120 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
