Intel Core i3-2120 vs Intel Pentium G2030

Core i3-2120 vs Pentium G2030 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2120 is faster than the Pentium G2030. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2030 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2120 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-2120 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G2030. The Pentium G2030 outputs less heat than Core i3-2120 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-2120 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
