Intel Core i5-3320M vs Intel Pentium G3460

Core i5-3320M vs Pentium G3460 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3460 performs better than the Core i5-3320M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3320M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-3320M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3460 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3320M. A Core i5-3320M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3460 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
