Intel Core i5-8250U vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i5-8250U vs Celeron N5105 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8250U performs better than the Celeron N5105. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N5105 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-8250U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron N5105 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8250U. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i5-8250U 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 i5-8250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
