Intel Core i7-7500U vs Intel Pentium G4520

Core i7-7500U vs Pentium G4520 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4520 beats the Core i7-7500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7500U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7500U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7500U. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G4520 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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
