FX-4300 vs Pentium G4400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4300 is faster than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the FX-4300 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-4300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4400. The Pentium G4400 outputs less heat than FX-4300 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 FX-4300 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4400. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the FX-4300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
