Core i7-8500Y vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8500Y is faster than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8500Y has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4400 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8500Y. A Core i7-8500Y 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 i7-8500Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
