Core i9-11900K vs Pentium Gold G5400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-11900K is faster than the Pentium Gold G5400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G5400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-11900K has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G5400. Indeed, the Core i9-11900K has 8 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G5400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G5400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-11900K. The Pentium Gold G5400 outputs less heat than Core i9-11900K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i9-11900K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium Gold G5400. The Core i9-11900K also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i9-11900K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
