Core i5-2410M vs Pentium G2030 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G2030 performs better than the Core i5-2410M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2410M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-2410M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2030 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2410M. A Core i5-2410M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2030 CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
