FX-4100 vs Pentium G4400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4100 is faster than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the FX-4100 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-4100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4400. In terms of cache, the FX-4100 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4400. The FX-4100 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 FX-4100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
