Intel Core i3-1005G1 vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Core i3-1005G1 vs Pentium Silver N5030 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1005G1 is faster than the Pentium Silver N5030. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-1005G1. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-1005G1. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-1005G1 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 outputs less heat than Core i3-1005G1 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
