Core i7-4610M vs Pentium G3240 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3240 is faster than the Core i7-4610M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4610M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4610M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4610M. A Core i7-4610M 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.

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 i7-4610M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
