Intel Celeron 787 vs Intel Celeron U3600: comparison

Comparison of Intel Celeron 787 and Intel Celeron U3600: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Celeron 787 has a higher base clock (1.3 GHz vs 1.2 GHz), a lower TDP (17 W vs 18 W), a higher maximum memory size (16 GB vs 8 GB) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (950 MHz vs 500 MHz).

At the same time, Intel Celeron U3600 has more cores (2 vs 1), more threads (2 vs 1) and a larger L3 cache (2 MB vs 1.5 MB).

Both processors match on: process node (32 nm), memory channels (2), PCIe version (2).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
