Intel Core i7-12700 vs Intel Pentium E6300

Core i7-12700 vs Pentium E6300 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12700 is faster than the Pentium E6300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium E6300 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12700 has significantly more cores than the Pentium E6300. Indeed, the Core i7-12700 has 12 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium E6300. It also has more threads than the Pentium E6300. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-12700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium E6300. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-12700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
