Intel Core i3-8130U vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i3-8130U vs Celeron N5105 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5105 beats the Core i3-8130U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-8130U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8130U. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-8130U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8130U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5105. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i3-8130U 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 i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
