Intel Core i7-950 vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i7-950 vs Pentium G4400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-950 is faster than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-950 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-950. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i7-950 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-950 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
