Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i3-6100 vs Celeron N4100 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100 is faster than the Celeron N4100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4100 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the Celeron N4100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 outputs less heat than Core i3-6100 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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
