Core i7-4500U vs Pentium G860 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4500U performs better than the Pentium G860. Despite this, the Pentium G860 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4500U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G860 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4500U.

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 i7-4500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
