Core i5-2400S vs Pentium G4560 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4560 beats the Core i5-2400S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400S in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-2400S has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4560 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4560 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-2400S. The Pentium G4560 outputs less heat than Core i5-2400S thanks to a slightly 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 i5-2400S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
