Intel Core i5-6500 vs Intel Celeron G5905

Core i5-6500 vs Celeron G5905 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6500 beats the Celeron G5905 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G5905 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6500 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. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G5905 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500. The Celeron G5905 outputs less heat than Core i5-6500 thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-6500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
