Intel Core i3-1005G1 vs Intel Pentium Silver N6000

Core i3-1005G1 vs Pentium Silver N6000 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Silver N6000 is faster than the Core i3-1005G1. Despite this, the Core i3-1005G1 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-1005G1. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N6000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-1005G1. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1005G1 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-1005G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
