Intel Core i7-2630QM vs Intel Pentium G4560

Core i7-2630QM vs Pentium G4560 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-2630QM performs better than the Pentium G4560. Despite this, the Pentium G4560 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-2630QM has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4560. Indeed, the Core i7-2630QM has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4560. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4560 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-2630QM. A Core i7-2630QM CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4560 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-2630QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
