Core i7-7500U vs Celeron G3930 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7500U is faster than the Celeron G3930. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G3930 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G3930 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7500U. A Core i7-7500U 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.

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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
