Pentium G2120 vs Pentium G3250 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3250 is faster than the Pentium G2120. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G2120 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3250 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G2120. The Pentium G3250 outputs less heat than Pentium G2120 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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