Intel Core i5-6300U vs Intel Celeron N3060

Core i5-6300U vs Celeron N3060 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6300U performs better than the Celeron N3060. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3060 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-6300U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6300U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N3060. The Celeron N3060 outputs less heat than Core i5-6300U 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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
