Intel Core i5-4460 vs Intel Pentium G3260

Core i5-4460 vs Pentium G3260 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4460 is faster than the Pentium G3260. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3260 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4460 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3260 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3260. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460. The Pentium G3260 outputs less heat than Core i5-4460 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
