Intel Core i7-3612QM vs Intel Pentium G4560

Core i7-3612QM vs Pentium G4560 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4560 beats the Core i7-3612QM in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3612QM in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-3612QM has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4560. Indeed, the Core i7-3612QM has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4560. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3612QM. A Core i7-3612QM CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4560 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 i7-3612QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
