Intel Core i3-2100 vs Intel Pentium G4400T

Core i3-2100 vs Pentium G4400T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2100 is faster than the Pentium G4400T. Despite this, the Pentium G4400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2100 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-2100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G4400T. The Pentium G4400T outputs less heat than Core i3-2100 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 i3-2100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
