Intel Core i3-3240 vs Intel Pentium G4400T

Core i3-3240 vs Pentium G4400T comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3240 performs better than the Pentium G4400T. Despite this, the Pentium G4400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3240 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4400T. The Pentium G4400T outputs less heat than Core i3-3240 thanks to a significantly 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 i3-3240 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
