Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Celeron J3455

Core i5-5200U vs Celeron J3455 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-5200U beats the Celeron J3455 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-5200U. Indeed, the Celeron J3455 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-5200U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-5200U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron J3455. The Celeron J3455 outputs less heat than Core i5-5200U 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 i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
