Core i3-6006U vs Celeron N4500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N4500 performs better 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6006U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4500. The Celeron N4500 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.
