Intel Core i5-7500 vs Intel Pentium G2020

Core i5-7500 vs Pentium G2020 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7500 beats the Pentium G2020 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2020 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-7500 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G2020 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G2020. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G2020. The Pentium G2020 outputs less heat than Core i5-7500 thanks to a slightly 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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
