Pentium 5405U vs Pentium G3460 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3460 is faster than the Pentium 5405U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 5405U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Pentium 5405U has more threads. A Pentium 5405U 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.

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 5405U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
