Core i5-3340 vs Pentium Gold G6405 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3340 is faster than the Pentium Gold G6405. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6405 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-3340 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6405. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6405. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3340. The Pentium Gold G6405 outputs less heat than Core i5-3340 thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-3340 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
