Pentium G3240 vs Pentium Gold G7400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G7400 beats the Pentium G3240 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3240 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Pentium Gold G7400 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G7400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3240. The Pentium Gold G7400 outputs less heat than Pentium G3240 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 G3240 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
