Intel Core i7-7500U vs Intel Celeron J4105

Core i7-7500U vs Celeron J4105 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron J4105 performs better than the Core i7-7500U. Despite this, the Core i7-7500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Celeron J4105 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-7500U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7500U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron J4105. The Celeron J4105 outputs less heat than Core i7-7500U 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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
