Intel Core i7-930 vs Intel Pentium G4560

Core i7-930 vs Pentium G4560 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-930 performs better than the Pentium G4560. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4560 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-930 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4560 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4560 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-930. The Pentium G4560 outputs less heat than Core i7-930 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 i7-930 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
