Core i5-4200U vs Pentium G645 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G645 is faster than the Core i5-4200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4200U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G645 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200U. A Core i5-4200U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G645 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-4200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
