Intel Pentium G3250 vs Intel Pentium Silver N5000

Pentium G3250 vs Pentium Silver N5000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3250 beats the Pentium Silver N5000 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5000 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5000 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G3250. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G3250. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3250. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3250 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5000. The Pentium Silver N5000 outputs less heat than Pentium G3250 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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.
