Intel Core i7-870 vs Intel Pentium G4560

Core i7-870 vs Pentium G4560 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-870 beats the Pentium G4560 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4560 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-870 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4560. Indeed, the Core i7-870 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4560. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4560 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-870. The Pentium G4560 outputs less heat than Core i7-870 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-870 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
