Intel Celeron G6900. Single threaded performance higher than Core i9

Twitter user BenchLeaks found an interesting result in the Benchmark Geekbench 5 database for the new Celeron. This dual-core unit without multithreading support usually works at 3.4 GHz, but here it was overclocked to 4.4 GHz most likely using BCLK, which was made possible thanks to the ASRock Z690M Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard.

Twisted Celeron scored, as expected, an unimpressive 2565 points in the multi-threaded test, but the single-thread score is 1397 points. The second result is already a very satisfactory level. It is worth mentioning that Not so long ago, owners of Intel processors could count on such a result Core i9-10900K.

This is another impressive basic show Golden Cove It is worth noting that the Celeron G6900 is available for sale at a price of less than 300 zlotys. Meanwhile compared to processors AMD It’s being tested single threaded Celeron is about 5 percent slower. than the Ryzen 5 5600G, but slightly faster than the Ryzen 7 3800XT.

This is an interesting display of power in the lower segment, but let’s be honest that only dual-core units in 2022 shouldn’t be there… The Pentium Gold 7400 with Higher clock speed of 300MHz and support for 4 threads.
