Intel Core i7-4510U vs Intel Pentium G3240

Core i7-4510U vs Pentium G3240 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3240 beats the Core i7-4510U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4510U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4510U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3240 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4510U. A Core i7-4510U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3240 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-4510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
