Intel Celeron N4500 vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225

The Intel Celeron N4500 is based on the Jasper Lake architecture and was developed for affordable mobile devices as well as simple office tasks.

Manufactured using the 10 nm process, this processor offers two cores and two threads. With a Level 2 cache of 2 MB and a Level 3 cache of 4 MB, the hardware is designed for minimal workloads. In benchmarks, the Intel Celeron N4500 shows modest single-core and multi-core performance, which often reaches technical limits for common standard applications.

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 16 EUs (Jasper Lake) can only be used to a very limited extent for graphical calculations or games. Thanks to the very low Thermal Design Power, the Intel Celeron N4500 is primarily suitable for silent, energy-efficient systems without high requirements for processing speed.

In comparison, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is a desktop processor of the Arrow Lake generation, manufactured using the 3 nm process.

It has a higher core count and, with 26 MB L2 and 24 MB L3 cache, offers significantly more capacity for fast data access. The performance in single-core and multi-core scenarios is far above that of the entry-level model, qualifying it for multitasking. The Intel Xe 4 Core Graphics 64 EUs (Arrow Lake) enable more stable graphics output, allowing the processor to perform significantly better in gaming scenarios.

Despite a higher Thermal Design Power, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 offers a balanced price-to-performance ratio for users looking for a reliable desktop solution thanks to PCIe 5.0 and a memory bandwidth of 102 GB/s.
