Core i5-4200H vs Pentium G3260 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4200H is faster than the Pentium G3260. Despite this, the Pentium G3260 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-4200H has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200H. A Core i5-4200H CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3260 CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i5-4200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
