Intel Core i5-3210M vs Intel Pentium G2020

Core i5-3210M vs Pentium G2020 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3210M performs better than the Pentium G2020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2020 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-3210M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2020 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3210M. A Core i5-3210M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2020 CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i5-3210M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
