Pentium G3258 vs Athlon II X3 445 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon II X3 445 performs better than the Pentium G3258. Despite this, the Pentium G3258 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Athlon II X3 445 has significantly more cores with 3 cores whereas the Pentium G3258 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3258. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3258 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X3 445.

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 G3258 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
