Pentium G3220 vs Pentium G3240 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3220 performs better than the Pentium G3240. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3240 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3220. The Pentium G3240 outputs less heat than Pentium G3220 thanks to a slightly 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 G3220 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
