Intel Core i5-760 vs Intel Pentium G4520

Core i5-760 vs Pentium G4520 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-760 performs better than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-760 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4520 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. The Pentium G4520 outputs less heat than Core i5-760 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-760 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4520. The Core i5-760 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
