Core i7-4610M vs Pentium G3250 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3250 beats the Core i7-4610M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4610M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4610M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3250 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4610M. A Core i7-4610M CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3250 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.
