Intel Core i7-860 vs Intel Pentium 6805

Core i7-860 vs Pentium 6805 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 6805 beats the Core i7-860 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-860 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-860 has significantly more cores than the Pentium 6805. Indeed, the Core i7-860 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 6805. It also has more threads than the Pentium 6805. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-860 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium 6805. Also, the Core i7-860 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Pentium 6805 outputs less heat than Core i7-860 thanks to a 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 i7-860 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
