Intel Core i7-4712MQ vs Intel Celeron G6900

Core i7-4712MQ vs Celeron G6900 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G6900 performs better than the Core i7-4712MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4712MQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4712MQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G6900 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G6900. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G6900 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. A Core i7-4712MQ 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. In terms of cache, the Celeron G6900 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4712MQ has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Celeron G6900.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
