Core i3-8130U vs Celeron G5905 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G5905 beats the Core i3-8130U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8130U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-8130U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G5905 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. A Core i3-8130U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G5905 CPU because of its 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 i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
