Intel Core i5-8250U vs Intel Pentium G4560

Core i5-8250U vs Pentium G4560 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8250U performs better than the Pentium G4560. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4560 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8250U has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4560. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4560. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8250U. A Core i5-8250U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4560 CPU because of its 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 i5-8250U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4560. The Core i5-8250U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
