Intel Core i7-8500Y vs Intel Celeron E3500

Core i7-8500Y vs Celeron E3500 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron E3500 performs better than the Core i7-8500Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8500Y in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-8500Y has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Celeron E3500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8500Y. A Core i7-8500Y CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron E3500 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 i7-8500Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
