Intel Celeron J4125 vs Intel Celeron J4005

The Intel Celeron J4005, based on the Gemini Lake architecture and manufactured by Intel using the 14 nm process, is an energy-efficient desktop processor.

It features 2 cores and 2 threads, 4 MB of Level 3 Cache, and supports PCIe Version 2.0. This processor, offering a maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s, is designed for basic tasks such as web browsing, word processing, and media playback in mini-PCs or NAS systems. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600 is suitable for simple screen output but not for demanding games.

In performance comparison, the Intel Celeron J4005 shows a single-core performance in Geekbench 6 that deviates only slightly from the J4125, while its multi-core performance is significantly lower. Its Cinebench R23 single-core performance is also noticeably below that of the J4125.

It is a cost-effective option for systems with very low performance requirements. The Intel Celeron J4125, also based on Intel's Gemini Lake architecture and manufactured using the 14 nm process, is a desktop processor intended for slightly more demanding, but still energy-efficient, applications.

With 4 cores and 4 threads, as well as 4 MB of Level 3 Cache, it offers improved multitasking capabilities compared to the J4005. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600 utilizes a maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s and supports PCIe Version 2.0. This CPU is suitable for mini-PCs or media centers that require a bit more computing power for several concurrently running applications or smoother operation.

In benchmarks, the Intel Celeron J4125 shows significantly higher multi-core performance in Geekbench 6 and noticeably better single-core performance in Cinebench R23 compared to the J4005. Its Geekbench 6 single-core performance, however, is only slightly higher. For gaming, due to the integrated graphics, it is also only suitable for very simple titles.

It offers a better performance-per-euro ratio for slightly higher requirements.
