Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i5-6300HQ vs Pentium G4400 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6300HQ performs better than the Pentium G4400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4400. Indeed, the Core i5-6300HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. A Core i5-6300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4400 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
