Intel Core i5-6500T vs Intel Celeron G6900

Core i5-6500T vs Celeron G6900 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G6900 performs better than the Core i5-6500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6500T has significantly more cores than the Celeron G6900. Indeed, the Core i5-6500T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Celeron G6900. It also has more threads than the Celeron G6900. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G6900 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500T. A Core i5-6500T CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G6900 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-6500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
