Intel Core i3-3240T vs Intel Pentium G3250

Core i3-3240T vs Pentium G3250 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3250 is faster than the Core i3-3240T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-3240T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-3240T has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3250 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3240T. A Core i3-3240T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3250 CPU because of its significantly 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 i3-3240T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
