Intel Core i3-9300 vs Intel Pentium Gold G7400

Core i3-9300 vs Pentium Gold G7400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9300 beats the Pentium Gold G7400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G7400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-9300 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G7400 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i3-9300 and Pentium Gold G7400 have the same clock speed. The Pentium Gold G7400 outputs less heat than Core i3-9300 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold G7400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9300. Despite this, the Core i3-9300 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Pentium Gold G7400.

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 i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
