AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU vs Intel Celeron N4000: Comparison

AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU vs Intel Celeron N4000 total cores compared

These two are close on paper, and total cores is the only measure that separates them at all: AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU 4 against Intel Celeron N4000 2. There is a split on p-core base clock as well, 1.8 GHz on the AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU versus 1.1 GHz on the Intel Celeron N4000. L2 cache runs the same way, 2 MB on the AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU versus 4 MB on the Intel Celeron N4000, another win for Intel Celeron N4000. Tdp is not the same on both, 15 W on the AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU versus 6 W on the Intel Celeron N4000. They differ on socket too, FP4 on the AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU versus FCBGA1090 on the Intel Celeron N4000. There is a split on form factor as well, Laptops on the AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU versus Laptop on the Intel Celeron N4000.

Which should you buy, AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU or Intel Celeron N4000?

The AMD 6th Gen A10-8700P APU is the one to take for A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not built for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. The Intel Celeron N4000 suits the absolute lightest computing tasks on the most budget-constrained devices. It is not the one for any multitasking or productivity work beyond basic browsing, even the 4-core N4120, covered elsewhere on this site, offers meaningfully more headroom.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: efficiency cores, integrated graphics, market segment and smt enabled are identical here.
