A10-8700P vs Pentium G3460 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3460 is faster than the A10-8700P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-8700P in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the A10-8700P has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3460 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. A A10-8700P CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3460 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A10-8700P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
