Intel Core i5-8259U vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i5-8259U vs Celeron N5105 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8259U is faster than the Celeron N5105. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N5105 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-8259U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5105. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i5-8259U 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 i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
