Intel Core i7-930 vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Core i7-930 vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-930 performs better than the Pentium Gold G5400. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G5400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-930 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G5400. Indeed, the Core i7-930 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G5400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G5400. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-930. The Pentium Gold G5400 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.
