Intel Core i7-6600U vs Intel Celeron N5095A

Core i7-6600U vs Celeron N5095A specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Celeron N5095A beats the Core i7-6600U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-6600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5095A has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6600U. Indeed, the Celeron N5095A has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-6600U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6600U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5095A.

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.
