Intel Core i5-7300U vs Intel Celeron N3350

Core i5-7300U vs Celeron N3350 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7300U performs better than the Celeron N3350. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N3350 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-7300U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7300U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N3350. The Celeron N3350 outputs less heat than Core i5-7300U 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 i5-7300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
