Pentium G3220T vs Pentium Gold G5420T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G5420T 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 but the Pentium Gold G5420T has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5420T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3220T. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
