Intel Core i3-4150 vs Intel Pentium G4520

Core i3-4150 vs Pentium G4520 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4150 beats the Pentium G4520 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4150 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4150. The Pentium G4520 outputs less heat than Core i3-4150 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-4150 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
