Intel Core i3-7100 vs Intel Celeron G6900

Core i3-7100 vs Celeron G6900 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G6900 is faster than the Core i3-7100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-7100 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-7100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G6900. The Celeron G6900 outputs less heat than Core i3-7100 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Celeron G6900 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-7100. The Celeron G6900 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i3-7100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
