Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs Intel Celeron G5905

Core i5-6300HQ vs Celeron G5905 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G5905 is faster than the Core i5-6300HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G5905 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G5905. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G5905 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6300HQ. A Core i5-6300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G5905 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
