Intel Core i5-3210M vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Core i5-3210M vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G5400 beats the Core i5-3210M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3210M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3210M. A Core i5-3210M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 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 i5-3210M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
