Core i3-2100 vs Pentium G4400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2100 is faster than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2100 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2100. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i3-2100 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 i3-2100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
