Pentium G3220 vs Pentium G3260 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3260 beats the Pentium G3220 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3220 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3220. The Pentium G3260 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.

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 G3220 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
