Core i7-6650U vs Celeron G3930 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6650U beats the Celeron G3930 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron G3930 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6650U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron G3930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6650U. A Core i7-6650U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G3930 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-6650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
