A10-7890K vs Pentium Gold G6405 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G6405 beats the A10-7890K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7890K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the A10-7890K and Pentium Gold G6405 have the same clock speed. The Pentium Gold G6405 outputs less heat than A10-7890K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the A10-7890K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
