Intel Core i5-6300U vs Intel Celeron N5095

Core i5-6300U vs Celeron N5095 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron N5095 performs better than the Core i5-6300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N5095 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-6300U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
