Intel Core i3-7130U vs Intel Celeron N3050

Core i3-7130U vs Celeron N3050 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N3050 is faster than the Core i3-7130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7130U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-7130U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-7130U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3050. The Celeron N3050 outputs less heat than Core i3-7130U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
