Intel Core i3 3217U vs Celeron 1007U |
Many times newer processors are not necessarily better, when compared with older ones. This is the case with the Intel Core i3 3217U and the Intel Celeron 1007U. Despite the Celeron being newer than the i3, the latter beats the Celeron in almost every aspect and I will go into detail about how it does it.
First of all, the two cores of the i3 are clocked at 1.8GHz whereas the Celeron cores are clocked at just 1.5GHz, but this isn’t the only difference. Furthermore the i3 is hyperthreaded, which means it can handle twice the amount of simultaneous threads than the Celeron, but the i3 also has 3MB of L3 cache, which is 1MB more than the Celeron itself.
This simple comparison and show of raw numbers clearly shows that the i3 is better, even if older. The statistics in the sheet below also support this conclusion.
