A8-5600K vs Pentium G645 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G645 performs better than the A8-5600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5600K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the A8-5600K has more threads. The Pentium G645 outputs less heat than A8-5600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the A8-5600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
