Intel Core i5-2320 vs Intel Pentium Gold G6405

Core i5-2320 vs Pentium Gold G6405 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G6405 beats the Core i5-2320 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2320 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-2320 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6405. Indeed, the Core i5-2320 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6405. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2320. The Pentium Gold G6405 outputs less heat than Core i5-2320 thanks to a significantly 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. For instance, the Core i5-2320 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
