Core i5 M 560 vs Pentium G645 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G645 beats the Core i5 M 560 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 560 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5 M 560 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G645 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5 M 560. In terms of cache, the Pentium G645 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5 M 560

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 M 560 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
