Core i5-4200M vs Pentium Gold G5420T benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G5420T is faster than the Core i5-4200M. Despite this, the Core i5-4200M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5420T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200M. The Pentium Gold G5420T 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.

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 i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
