Core i3-9100T vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-9100T is faster than the Pentium Gold G5400. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G5400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-9100T has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium Gold G5400 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-9100T. A Core i3-9100T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 CPU because of its significantly 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. For instance, the Core i3-9100T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
