Pentium G3250 vs Core i5 M 560 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3250 beats the Core i5 M 560 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 560 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5 M 560 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3250 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5 M 560.

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 G3250 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
