In terms of processing power only (ignoring GPU performance), why is the CPUMark performance of the Celeron 2955U (2-core, 1.4GHz) relatively close to the Celeron N3150 (4-core, 1.6GHz)?
Intel Celeron 2955U Average CPU Mark: 1456 Intel Celeron N3150 Average CPU Mark: 1522
I would expect that the N3150 has nearly double the processing power of N2955U given that it has twice the cores, and higher clock. Both are based on Celeron architectures (Haswell versus Braswell.
1Because the frequency difference between the two is only 0.200 GHz. Unless the benchmark explains how they factor in multiple core chips one can only assume they do not. In reality for multi-threaded applications the N3150 would be a great deal better, but only in a multi-threaded application, otherwise they are about equal. Voting to close because, we can only provide our opinions, on a benchmark that isn''t explained in detail how the score we calculated. – Ramhound – 2016-01-28T15:04:50.833
