Intel Core i5-2430M vs Intel Celeron N5095A

Core i5-2430M vs Celeron N5095A specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5095A beats the Core i5-2430M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2430M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N5095A has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-2430M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2430M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5095A.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-2430M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
