Intel Core i5-8265U vs Intel Pentium Gold G7400

Core i5-8265U vs Pentium Gold G7400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G7400 is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8265U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8265U has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G7400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G7400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8265U. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
