Intel Pentium 6405U vs Intel Pentium G3260

Pentium 6405U vs Pentium G3260 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3260 performs better than the Pentium 6405U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 6405U in all gaming tests too.

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 G3260 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Pentium 6405U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
