Core i7-4600M vs Pentium Gold G7400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G7400 beats the Core i7-4600M in overall performance. 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 Gold G7400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4600M. A Core i7-4600M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G7400 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4600M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
