Pentium G3240 vs Core m3-7Y30 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core m3-7Y30 beats the Pentium G3240 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G3240 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core m3-7Y30 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3240 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core m3-7Y30. The Core m3-7Y30 outputs less heat than Pentium G3240 thanks to a 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 G3240 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
