Intel Core i7-930 vs Intel Pentium G4600

Core i7-930 vs Pentium G4600 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-930 beats the Pentium G4600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-930 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4600. Indeed, the Core i7-930 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4600. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4600. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-930. The Pentium G4600 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.
