Intel Pentium 4417U vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Pentium 4417U vs Pentium Silver N5030 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 4417U beats the Pentium Silver N5030 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium Silver N5030 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the Pentium 4417U. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 4417U. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium Silver N5030 outputs less heat than Pentium 4417U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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