Core i7-6560U vs Celeron G4920 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6560U performs better than the Celeron G4920. Despite this, the Celeron G4920 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6560U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G4920 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6560U. A Core i7-6560U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G4920 CPU because of its 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 i7-6560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
