Intel Core i3-3130M vs Intel Pentium G3220T

Core i3-3130M vs Pentium G3220T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3220T beats the Core i3-3130M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3130M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3130M has more threads. According to our data, the Core i3-3130M and Pentium G3220T have the same clock speed. 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 i3-3130M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
