Intel Core i3-4160 vs Intel Pentium G3250

Core i3-4160 vs Pentium G3250 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4160 is faster than the Pentium G3250. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3250 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4160 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3250. The Pentium G3250 outputs less heat than Core i3-4160 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 i3-4160 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
