Intel Core i3-7100U vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i3-7100U vs Celeron N4100 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N4100 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-7100U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-7100U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 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.
