Core i5-10210U vs Pentium G4520 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10210U is faster than the Pentium G4520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4520 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4520. Indeed, the Core i5-10210U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4520. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10210U. A Core i5-10210U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4520. The Core i5-10210U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
