Intel Core i7-2670QM vs Intel Pentium G2030

Core i7-2670QM vs Pentium G2030 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G2030 is faster than the Core i7-2670QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-2670QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G2030 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G2030. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2030 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2670QM. A Core i7-2670QM CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2030 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 i7-2670QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
