Core i5-4210U vs Pentium G2020 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4210U is faster than the Pentium G2020. Despite this, the Pentium G2020 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4210U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2020 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4210U. A Core i5-4210U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2020 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-4210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
