Intel Core i3-4020Y vs Intel Pentium 2020M

Core i3-4020Y vs Pentium 2020M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 2020M performs better than the Core i3-4020Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4020Y in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-4020Y has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium 2020M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4020Y. A Core i3-4020Y CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium 2020M CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-4020Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
