Intel Pentium G3220T vs Intel Core 2 Duo E8600

Pentium G3220T vs Core 2 Duo E8600 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Duo E8600 is faster than the Pentium G3220T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3220T 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E8600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3220T. A Pentium G3220T CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8600 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.
