Intel Core i3-3220 vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i3-3220 vs Pentium G4400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3220 beats the Pentium G4400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3220 has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-3220 and Pentium G4400 are identical in this regard. The Pentium G4400 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.

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 i3-3220 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
