Pentium G2020 vs Core i5 M 560 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5 M 560 beats the Pentium G2020 in overall performance. 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 Core i5 M 560 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2020 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5 M 560.

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. For instance, the Pentium G2020 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
