Intel Core i5-6600 vs Intel Celeron G3930

Core i5-6600 vs Celeron G3930 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600 is faster than the Celeron G3930. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G3930 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G3930 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G3930. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G3930. The Celeron G3930 outputs less heat than Core i5-6600 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-6600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron G3930. The Core i5-6600 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
