Core i5-3330 vs Pentium Gold G5400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3330 is faster than the Pentium Gold G5400. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G5400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3330 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium Gold G5400 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3330. The Pentium Gold G5400 outputs less heat than Core i5-3330 thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-3330 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
