Core i5-4300M vs Pentium G2020 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4300M is faster than the Pentium G2020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2020 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-4300M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2020 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4300M. A Core i5-4300M 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 i5-4300M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
