Intel Core i7-6600U vs Intel Celeron N5095

Core i7-6600U vs Celeron N5095 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5095 beats the Core i7-6600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6600U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron N5095 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-6600U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
