Intel Core i7-960 vs Intel Pentium G4400

Core i7-960 vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-960 is faster than the Pentium G4400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4400 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-960 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4400 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-960. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than Core i7-960 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 i7-960 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
