Core i3-4160 vs Pentium G4400T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4160 performs better than the Pentium G4400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4400T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-4160 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4400T. The Pentium G4400T outputs less heat than Core i3-4160 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-4160 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
