Intel Core i7-8550U vs Intel Celeron N5095

Core i7-8550U vs Celeron N5095 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8550U beats the Celeron N5095 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N5095 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-8550U has more threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-8550U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
