Core i5-2300 vs Pentium Gold 7505 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2300 performs better than the Pentium Gold 7505. Despite this, the Pentium Gold 7505 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-2300 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium Gold 7505 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium Gold 7505 outputs less heat than Core i5-2300 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-2300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
