Pentium 6405U vs Pentium G2020 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 6405U is faster than the Pentium G2020. Despite this, the Pentium G2020 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Pentium 6405U has more threads. A Pentium 6405U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2020 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 6405U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
