Intel Core i5-5257U vs Intel Celeron J6412

Core i5-5257U vs Celeron J6412 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-5257U performs better than the Celeron J6412. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J6412 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J6412 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-5257U. Indeed, the Celeron J6412 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-5257U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-5257U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J6412. The Celeron J6412 outputs less heat than Core i5-5257U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Celeron J6412 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-5257U. The Celeron J6412 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i5-5257U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
