Pentium G2020 vs Pentium G860 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G2020 beats the Pentium G860 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G860 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G860 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G2020.

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