Intel Core i7 Q 720 vs Intel Pentium E5800

Core i7 Q 720 vs Pentium E5800 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7 Q 720 performs better than the Pentium E5800. Despite this, the Pentium E5800 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7 Q 720 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium E5800 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium E5800. Our comparison shows that the Pentium E5800 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 Q 720. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Pentium E5800 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7 Q 720

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 Q 720 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
