Intel Core i5-4440 vs Intel Pentium G4520

Core i5-4440 vs Pentium G4520 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4440 performs better than the Pentium G4520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4520 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-4440 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4520. Indeed, the Core i5-4440 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4520. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4440. The Pentium G4520 outputs less heat than Core i5-4440 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i5-4440 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
