Intel Core i7-7600U vs Intel Pentium Gold G6405

Core i7-7600U vs Pentium Gold G6405 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G6405 beats the Core i7-7600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7600U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7600U. A Core i7-7600U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6405 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 i7-7600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
