Intel Core i7-6500U vs Intel Celeron J3455

Core i7-6500U vs Celeron J3455 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6500U is faster than the Celeron J3455. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron J3455 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron J3455 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6500U. Indeed, the Celeron J3455 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-6500U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6500U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron J3455. The Celeron J3455 outputs less heat than Core i7-6500U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-6500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
