Pentium G3240 vs Pentium G3258 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3258 performs better than the Pentium G3240. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3240 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3258 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3240. 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Pentium G3240 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
