Core i3-7020U vs Celeron N3060 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-7020U performs better than the Celeron N3060. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3060 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-7020U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-7020U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N3060. The Celeron N3060 outputs less heat than Core i3-7020U 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 i3-7020U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
