Core i7-8665U vs Celeron N5105 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8665U is faster than the Celeron N5105. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N5105 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8665U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Celeron N5105 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8665U. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than Core i7-8665U thanks to a 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 i7-8665U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
