Core i3-1115G4 vs Pentium Gold G6400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G6400 performs better than the Core i3-1115G4. Despite this, the Core i3-1115G4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1115G4. A Core i3-1115G4 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6400 CPU because of its 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 i3-1115G4 has more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G6400. The Core i3-1115G4 also has significantly more 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 i3-1115G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
