Core i7-950 vs Pentium G4560 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4560 is faster than the Core i7-950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-950 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-950 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4560 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4560 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-950. The Pentium G4560 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.

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 i7-950 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
