Intel Core i3-7350K vs Intel Pentium Gold G6405

Core i3-7350K vs Pentium Gold G6405 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-7350K performs better than the Pentium Gold G6405. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6405 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Gold G6405. The Pentium Gold G6405 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.

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 i3-7350K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
