Core i3-8145U vs Celeron G5905 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G5905 performs better than the Core i3-8145U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8145U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-8145U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G5905 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-8145U. A Core i3-8145U 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.

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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
