Pentium G3250 vs Pentium G3258 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3250 is faster than the Pentium G3258. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3258 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Both the Pentium G3250 and Pentium G3258 have the same clock speed. 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.

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.
