Pentium G3260 vs Athlon X4 760K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3260 is faster than the Athlon X4 760K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Athlon X4 760K has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 760K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3260.

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