Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Pentium G860

Core i5-5200U vs Pentium G860 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-5200U beats the Pentium G860 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G860 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-5200U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G860 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-5200U. A Core i5-5200U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G860 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
