Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Pentium G4520

Core i3-6100 vs Pentium G4520 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6100 is faster than the Pentium G4520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4520 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-6100 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4520. 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
