Intel Core i7-4770 vs Intel Pentium G3260

Core i7-4770 vs Pentium G3260 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4770 beats the Pentium G3260 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3260 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4770 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3260 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3260. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3260. The Pentium G3260 outputs less heat than Core i7-4770 thanks to a 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 i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
