Core i5-3330 vs Pentium Gold G6405 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3330 is faster than the Pentium Gold G6405. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G6405 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 G6405 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3330. The Pentium Gold G6405 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.

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. For instance, the Core i5-3330 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
