Intel Core i7-4600U vs Intel Pentium G3220T

Core i7-4600U vs Pentium G3220T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4600U beats the Pentium G3220T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3220T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4600U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3220T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4600U. A Core i7-4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3220T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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