FX-8120 vs Celeron N5105 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8120 performs better 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 FX-8120 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8120 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Celeron N5105. The Celeron N5105 outputs less heat than FX-8120 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 FX-8120 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
