Intel Core i5-4300U vs Intel Pentium G2120

Core i5-4300U vs Pentium G2120 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G2120 is faster than the Core i5-4300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-4300U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G2120 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4300U. A Core i5-4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2120 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
