Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i5-5200U vs Celeron N4100 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-5200U performs better than the Celeron N4100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4100 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-5200U. Indeed, the Celeron N4100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-5200U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-5200U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
