Intel Core i5-12400 vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i5-12400 vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12400 performs better than the Pentium G4400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12400 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4400. Indeed, the Core i5-12400 has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i5-12400 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-12400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
