Intel Core i3-7100U vs Intel Pentium G2030

Core i3-7100U vs Pentium G2030 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G2030 is faster than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-7100U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2030 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-7100U. A Core i3-7100U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2030 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
