Core i3-6100U vs Celeron N4020 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100U is faster than the Celeron N4020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6100U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4020. The Celeron N4020 outputs less heat than Core i3-6100U 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 i3-6100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
