Intel Pentium 6405U vs Intel Celeron 6305

Processor comparisons   13-01-2022
   If you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a choice by looking at the Intel Pentium 6405U vs Intel Celeron 6305 tests and see which is better for games or simple use for video editing, programming, machine learning, streaming, rendering. Here is useful information from real streaming and video editing tests or many benchmarks. A careful review of all the specifications, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in synthetic type tests such as Blender, Furmark, RealBench, WPrime, Prime95, MATLAB, SuperPi, DaVinci Resolve Studio, 7zip, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Dolphin Emulator, 3DMark, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Handbrake, Gears 5, PCMark 10, GeekBench 6, 5.2, VeraCrypt, Blender, UserBenchmark, AIDA64, PassMark.
   And how good the CPUs are in games:

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because the cost of this processor reaches several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a small game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.

Celeron 6305

To make a finishing choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Pentium 6405U is more energy efficient than the Celeron 6305 since it has less power consumption: 15W vs. 0W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you need to know its TDP. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

For example you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for machine learning, streaming, programming, video rendering or video editing, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the processor includes all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to achieve maximum performance. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the program you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to work, and all the advantages of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most helpful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in the newest games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Pentium 6405U is 25% better than Celeron 6305 in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Pentium 6405U is better: 21
The number of parameters for which Intel Celeron 6305 is better: 9
Although it should be understood that all the number that you have looked at here do not mean that taking them into account you should totally trust a simple comparison of these figures. Be sure to watch the video tests and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Pentium 6405U and Intel Celeron 6305 before making a decision which of the processors to buy for gaming.
