Core i5-3470 vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3470 performs better than the Pentium G4400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4400 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3470 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4400 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-3470. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i5-3470 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 i5-3470 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
