Core i3-3120M vs Pentium G4400T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3120M is faster than the Pentium G4400T. Despite this, the Pentium G4400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-3120M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3120M. 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 i3-3120M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
