Intel Pentium G2020 vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Pentium G2020 vs Pentium Silver N5030 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G2020 beats the Pentium Silver N5030 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G2020. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G2020. It also has more threads than the Pentium G2020. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G2020 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 outputs less heat than Pentium G2020 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Pentium G2020 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
