Core i3-7100U vs Celeron N4120 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Celeron N4120 beats the Core i3-7100U in overall performance. 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 N4120 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-7100U. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-7100U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-7100U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4120. The Celeron N4120 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.
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 i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
