Core i5-4310M vs Pentium G4400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4400 is faster than the Core i5-4310M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4310M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-4310M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4310M. A Core i5-4310M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4400 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 i5-4310M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
