Intel Pentium G3250 vs Intel Core 2 Duo E7400

Pentium G3250 vs Core 2 Duo E7400 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3250 performs better than the Core 2 Duo E7400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E7400 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 G3250 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo E7400. A Pentium G3250 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7400 CPU because of its 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 G3250 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
