Intel Core i3-12100F vs Intel Pentium Gold G6400

Core i3-12100F vs Pentium Gold G6400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100F is faster than the Pentium Gold G6400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-12100F has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6400. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G6400. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-12100F. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
