Intel Core i7-930 vs Intel Pentium Silver J5040

Core i7-930 vs Pentium Silver J5040 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-930 is faster than the Pentium Silver J5040. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver J5040 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-930 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 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.
