Intel Pentium G3220T vs Intel Core i7 Q 740

Pentium G3220T vs Core i7 Q 740 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7 Q 740 is faster than the Pentium G3220T. Despite this, the Pentium G3220T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7 Q 740 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3220T that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3220T. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3220T has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7 Q 740.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Pentium G3220T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
