Pentium G3258 vs Pentium G3260 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3260 beats the Pentium G3258 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3258 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3258. 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 G3258 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
