Intel Core i5-4200M vs Intel Pentium G3220T

Core i5-4200M vs Pentium G3220T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4200M beats the Pentium G3220T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3220T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4200M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3220T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200M. The Pentium G3220T outputs less heat than Core i5-4200M 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. Indeed, the Core i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
