Intel Core i7-6500U vs Intel Pentium G4400T

Core i7-6500U vs Pentium G4400T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6500U beats the Pentium G4400T in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G4400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-6500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4400T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6500U. A Core i7-6500U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4400T CPU because of its 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 i7-6500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
