Core i3-8145U vs Pentium G4560 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4560 is faster than the Core i3-8145U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8145U 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 Pentium G4560 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8145U. A Core i3-8145U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4560 CPU because of its significantly 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 i3-8145U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
