Pentium 4417U vs Celeron G550 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 4417U performs better than the Celeron G550. Despite this, the Celeron G550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Pentium 4417U has more threads. A Pentium 4417U CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G550 CPU because of its 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 Pentium 4417U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
