Pentium G3258 vs Pentium Silver N5030 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3258 beats the Pentium Silver N5030 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5030 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G3258. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G3258. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3258. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3258 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 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.

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.
