Intel Core i5-4300U vs Intel Celeron N4500

Core i5-4300U vs Celeron N4500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4300U beats the Celeron N4500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron N4500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4300U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4500. The Celeron N4500 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.
