Core i3-4340 vs Pentium Gold G5400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G5400 is faster than the Core i3-4340. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4340 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 Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4340. 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 i3-4340 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
