Intel Core i3-4130 vs Intel Pentium G4520

Core i3-4130 vs Pentium G4520 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4520 is faster than the Core i3-4130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4130 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4130 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4130. The Pentium G4520 outputs less heat than Core i3-4130 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Pentium G4520 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
