A8-6500 vs Pentium G4400 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-6500 performs better than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the A8-6500 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4400. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than A8-6500 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A8-6500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4400

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 A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
