Intel Core i3-8100 vs Intel Pentium Gold 7505

Core i3-8100 vs Pentium Gold 7505 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-8100 beats the Pentium Gold 7505 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold 7505 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-8100 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold 7505. Indeed, the Core i3-8100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold 7505. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium Gold 7505 outputs less heat than Core i3-8100 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i3-8100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
