Core i3-4030U vs Pentium 2020M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 2020M beats the Core i3-4030U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4030U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4030U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium 2020M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4030U. A Core i3-4030U 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 i3-4030U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
