Core i3-4170 vs Pentium 6805 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 6805 is faster than the Core i3-4170. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4170 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4170 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium 6805. The Pentium 6805 outputs less heat than Core i3-4170 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 i3-4170 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
