Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs Intel Pentium G645

Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs Pentium G645 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is faster than the Pentium G645. Despite this, the Pentium G645 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G645 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G645. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G645 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q6600. The Pentium G645 outputs less heat than Core 2 Quad Q6600 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has more L2 cache than the Pentium G645

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. For instance, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
