Intel Core i7-6650U vs Intel Celeron G3920

Core i7-6650U vs Celeron G3920 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6650U performs better than the Celeron G3920. Despite this, the Celeron G3920 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-6650U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G3920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6650U. A Core i7-6650U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G3920 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 i7-6650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
