Core i7-3820QM vs Pentium Gold G6405 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3820QM is faster than the Pentium Gold G6405. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G6405 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-3820QM has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6405. Indeed, the Core i7-3820QM has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6405. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G6405. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3820QM. A Core i7-3820QM CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6405 CPU because of its 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 i7-3820QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
