Pentium G3220 vs Ryzen 9 9950X benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 9950X is faster than the Pentium G3220. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3220 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 9950X has significantly more cores than the Pentium G3220. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 9950X has 16 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G3220. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3220. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 9 9950X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3220. A Pentium G3220 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 9 9950X CPU because of its significantly 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.
