Core i3-4000M vs Pentium G2020 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G2020 is faster than the Core i3-4000M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4000M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-4000M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2020 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4000M. A Core i3-4000M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2020 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 i3-4000M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
