Pentium 5405U vs Celeron G550 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 5405U is faster than the Celeron G550. Despite this, the Celeron G550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Pentium 5405U has more threads. A Pentium 5405U 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Pentium 5405U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
