Intel Core i5-4300U vs Intel Celeron J3455

Core i5-4300U vs Celeron J3455 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4300U performs better than the Celeron J3455. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-4300U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J3455. The Celeron J3455 outputs less heat than Core i5-4300U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
