Pentium 4417U vs Pentium G3460 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3460 is faster than the Pentium 4417U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 4417U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Pentium 4417U has more threads. A Pentium 4417U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3460 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Pentium 4417U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
