Intel Core i3-7130U vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i3-7130U vs Celeron N4100 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N4100 performs better than the Core i3-7130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7130U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-7130U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7130U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 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.

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 i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
