Intel Core i7-6600U vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i7-6600U vs Celeron N5105 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N5105 is faster than the Core i7-6600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6600U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6600U. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 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 N5105. The Celeron N5105 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
