Intel Core i5-6500 vs Intel Pentium G4400T

Core i5-6500 vs Pentium G4400T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6500 beats the Pentium G4400T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4400T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6500 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4400T. Indeed, the Core i5-6500 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400T. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400T. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4400T. The Pentium G4400T outputs less heat than Core i5-6500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
