Intel Core i7-4600U vs Intel Pentium G2020

Core i7-4600U vs Pentium G2020 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4600U beats the Pentium G2020 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2020 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4600U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2020 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4600U. A Core i7-4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2020 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 i7-4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
