Core i3-7130U vs Celeron N5105 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5105 beats the Core i3-7130U in overall performance. 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 N5105 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-7130U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5105. The Celeron N5105 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.

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