Core i7-3770 vs Pentium G2020 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3770 performs better than the Pentium G2020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2020 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-3770 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G2020. Indeed, the Core i7-3770 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G2020. It also has more threads than the Pentium G2020. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G2020. The Pentium G2020 outputs less heat than Core i7-3770 thanks to a slightly 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 i7-3770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
