Core i5-3320M vs Celeron G3930 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3320M is faster than the Celeron G3930. Despite this, the Celeron G3930 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-3320M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G3930 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3320M. A Core i5-3320M CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G3930 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Celeron G3930 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-3320M. Despite this, the Core i5-3320M has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Celeron G3930.

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 i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
