Intel Core i3-3240 vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i3-3240 vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3240 performs better than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-3240 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-3240 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G4400. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i3-3240 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-3240 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
