Core i3-4160 vs Pentium G4560 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4560 is faster than the Core i3-4160. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4160 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4560. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i3-4160 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
