Core i7-6650U vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4400 beats the Core i7-6650U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6650U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-6650U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6650U. A Core i7-6650U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
