Celeron G3930 vs Pentium G3260 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3260 is faster than the Celeron G3930. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron G3930 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Celeron G3930. A Celeron G3930 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3260 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Celeron G3930 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
