Core i3-2328M vs Pentium G2030 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G2030 is faster than the Core i3-2328M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2328M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2328M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G2030 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2328M. A Core i3-2328M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2030 CPU because of its 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 i3-2328M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
