Intel Core i3-3220 vs Intel Pentium G3460

Core i3-3220 vs Pentium G3460 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-3220 is faster than the Pentium G3460. Despite this, the Pentium G3460 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-3220 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3460 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3220. The Pentium G3460 outputs less heat than Core i3-3220 thanks to a slightly 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 i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
