Intel Core i3-6100U vs Intel Celeron N5095

Core i3-6100U vs Celeron N5095 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5095 beats the Core i3-6100U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N5095 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6100U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-6100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
