Intel Core i7-6600U vs Intel Celeron N4100

Core i7-6600U vs Celeron N4100 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6600U beats the Celeron N4100 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4100 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Celeron N4100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-6600U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6600U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4100. The Celeron N4100 outputs less heat than Core i7-6600U 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 i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
