Core i7-920 vs Pentium 6805 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 6805 is faster than the Core i7-920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-920 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-920 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium 6805 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium 6805. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-920 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium 6805. Despite this, the Pentium 6805 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Pentium 6805 outputs less heat than Core i7-920 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-920 has more L2 cache than the Pentium 6805

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 i7-920 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
