Intel Core i5-4300U vs Intel Celeron N4020

Core i5-4300U vs Celeron N4020 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4300U performs better than the Celeron N4020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4300U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4020. The Celeron N4020 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.
