Pentium G3258 vs Pentium Gold G5420T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3258 is faster than the Pentium Gold G5420T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G5420T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Pentium Gold G5420T has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3258 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium Gold G5420T. The Pentium Gold G5420T outputs less heat than Pentium G3258 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 G3258 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
