Intel Core i7-7600U vs Intel Celeron G3930

Core i7-7600U vs Celeron G3930 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7600U beats the Celeron G3930 in overall performance. Despite this, the Celeron G3930 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-7600U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron G3930 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7600U. A Core i7-7600U 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.

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 i7-7600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
