Intel Core i3-7130U vs Intel Pentium G3220T

Core i3-7130U vs Pentium G3220T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3220T performs better than the Core i3-7130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7130U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-7130U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-7130U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3220T. A Core i3-7130U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3220T CPU because of its significantly 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 i3-7130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
