Intel Core i3-1005G1 vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Core i3-1005G1 vs Pentium Gold G5400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G5400 beats the Core i3-1005G1 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-1005G1 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1005G1. A Core i3-1005G1 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 CPU because of its 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 and L3 cache.

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 Core i3-1005G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
