Intel Core i3-530 vs Intel Pentium G2030

Core i3-530 vs Pentium G2030 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-530 beats the Pentium G2030 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G2030 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-530 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2030 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-530. The Pentium G2030 outputs less heat than Core i3-530 thanks to a slightly 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 i3-530 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
