Intel Core i3-7100U vs Intel Celeron J4125

Core i3-7100U vs Celeron J4125 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron J4125 is faster than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J4125 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-7100U. Indeed, the Celeron J4125 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-7100U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-7100U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron J4125. The Celeron J4125 outputs less heat than Core i3-7100U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
