Intel Core i7-6700T vs Intel Pentium G4600

Core i7-6700T vs Pentium G4600 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700T is faster than the Pentium G4600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-6700T has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4600. Indeed, the Core i7-6700T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4600. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4600. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6700T. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4600 CPU because of its significantly 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 Core i7-6700T has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4600. The Core i7-6700T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
