Core i3-6157U vs Pentium G4560 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4560 is faster than the Core i3-6157U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6157U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6157U. A Core i3-6157U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4560 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-6157U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
