Pentium G3220T vs Core 2 Duo E8400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3220T is faster than the Core 2 Duo E8400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E8400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Duo E8400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3220T. A Pentium G3220T CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU because of its significantly 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 G3220T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
