Intel Core i7-12700 vs Intel Pentium G645

Core i7-12700 vs Pentium G645 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12700 beats the Pentium G645 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G645 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-12700 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Pentium G645 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G645. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-12700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G645. 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.

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