Core i5-4690 vs Celeron G6900 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4690 is faster than the Celeron G6900. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G6900 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-4690 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Celeron G6900 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G6900. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron G6900. The Celeron G6900 outputs less heat than Core i5-4690 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. For instance, the Core i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
