Pentium G2120 vs Core i7 M 620 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7 M 620 performs better than the Pentium G2120. Despite this, the Pentium G2120 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7 M 620 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2120 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 M 620.

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. For instance, the Pentium G2120 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
