Core i5-6300U vs Celeron N4120 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Celeron N4120 beats the Core i5-6300U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-6300U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N4120 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6300U. Indeed, the Celeron N4120 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 N4120. The Celeron N4120 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.
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. Indeed, the Core i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
