Core i3-6100U vs Celeron G5905 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G5905 is faster than the Core i3-6100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-6100U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G5905 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6100U. A Core i3-6100U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G5905 CPU because of its 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 i3-6100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
