Intel Core i7-6600U vs Intel Pentium G4400T

Core i7-6600U vs Pentium G4400T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6600U performs better than the Pentium G4400T. Despite this, the Pentium G4400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6600U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6600U. A Core i7-6600U 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
