Intel Core i7-12700H vs Intel Pentium G4600

Core i7-12700H vs Pentium G4600 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12700H is faster than the Pentium G4600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12700H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Pentium G4600 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12700H. A Core i7-12700H CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4600 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 i7-12700H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
