Celeron G3930 vs Pentium Gold G5420T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G3930 beats the Pentium Gold G5420T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G5420T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Pentium Gold G5420T has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5420T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G3930. The Pentium Gold G5420T outputs less heat than Celeron G3930 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Pentium Gold G5420T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
