Intel Core i5-7600 vs Intel Pentium Gold 7505

Core i5-7600 vs Pentium Gold 7505 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7600 beats the Pentium Gold 7505 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold 7505 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-7600 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold 7505 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium Gold 7505 outputs less heat than Core i5-7600 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 i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
