Intel Core i7-7660U vs Intel Celeron N5105

Core i7-7660U vs Celeron N5105 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron N5105 is faster than the Core i7-7660U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7660U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Celeron N5105 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7660U. Indeed, the Celeron N5105 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-7660U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7660U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N5105. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i7-7660U thanks to a 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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
