Intel Core i3-3240T vs Intel Pentium G3220T

Core i3-3240T vs Pentium G3220T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3220T beats the Core i3-3240T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-3240T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3240T has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-3240T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3220T. 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 i3-3240T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
