Pentium G3250 vs Pentium G3260 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3260 performs better than the Pentium G3250. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3250 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3250. 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Pentium G3250 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
