Intel Core i5-2430M vs Intel Pentium Gold G5420T

Core i5-2430M vs Pentium Gold G5420T comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5420T performs better than the Core i5-2430M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2430M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5420T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2430M. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. Indeed, the Core i5-2430M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
