Core i3-8145U vs Pentium G4400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8145U is faster than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-8145U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8145U. A Core i3-8145U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
