Intel Core i3-4330 vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Core i3-4330 vs Pentium Gold G5400 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5400 performs better than the Core i3-4330. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4330 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4330. 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.

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 i3-4330 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
