Pentium G3260 vs Athlon II X3 445 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3260 is faster than the Athlon II X3 445. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X3 445 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Athlon II X3 445 has significantly more cores with 3 cores whereas the Pentium G3260 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3260. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G3260 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Athlon II X3 445.

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 G3260 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
