Core i5-2300 vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2300 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 i5-2300 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium Gold G5400 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-2300. The Pentium Gold G5400 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.
