Intel Core i3-9100 vs Intel Pentium G4600

Core i3-9100 vs Pentium G4600 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9100 beats the Pentium G4600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-9100 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4600. Indeed, the Core i3-9100 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4600. But they both have the same number of threads. Both the Core i3-9100 and Pentium G4600 have the same clock speed. The Pentium G4600 outputs less heat than Core i3-9100 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-9100 has more L2 cache than the Pentium G4600. The Core i3-9100 also has significantly 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. For instance, the Core i3-9100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
