Intel Core i7-4900MQ vs Intel Pentium Gold G7400

Core i7-4900MQ vs Pentium Gold G7400 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4900MQ performs better than the Pentium Gold G7400. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G7400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4900MQ has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G7400. Indeed, the Core i7-4900MQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G7400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G7400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4900MQ. The Pentium Gold G7400 outputs less heat than Core i7-4900MQ thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4900MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4900MQ has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Pentium Gold G7400.

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 i7-4900MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
