Core i5-4300U vs Pentium G645 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4300U is faster than the Pentium G645. Despite this, the Pentium G645 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 G645 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4300U. A Core i5-4300U 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. In terms of cache, the Pentium G645 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4300U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
