Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Core i3-6100 vs Pentium Gold G5400 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5400 performs better than the Core i3-6100. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6100 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Both the Core i3-6100 and Pentium Gold G5400 have the same clock speed. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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.
