Core i7-4600M vs Pentium G4560 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4560 is faster than the Core i7-4600M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4600M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4560 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4600M. A Core i7-4600M 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.

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 i7-4600M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
