Intel Core i5-6300U vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i5-6300U vs Celeron N4100 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6300U 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 i5-6300U. Indeed, the Celeron N4100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-6300U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
