Core i3-7350K vs Pentium G4600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-7350K beats the Pentium G4600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 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 Core i3-7350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4600. The Pentium G4600 outputs less heat than Core i3-7350K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i3-7350K also has slightly more 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 i3-7350K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
