Intel Core i5-2400 vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i5-2400 vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2400 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 i5-2400 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4400. Indeed, the Core i5-2400 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-2400. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i5-2400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-2400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
