Intel Core i7-4790 vs Intel Pentium G3250

Core i7-4790 vs Pentium G3250 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4790 is faster than the Pentium G3250. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3250 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4790 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3250 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3250. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3250. The Pentium G3250 outputs less heat than Core i7-4790 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 i7-4790 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
