Intel Core i5-3550S vs Intel Celeron J6412

Core i5-3550S vs Celeron J6412 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron J6412 beats the Core i5-3550S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3550S has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J6412. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than Core i5-3550S thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i5-3550S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
