Pentium G3260 vs Pentium G3460 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G3260 is faster than the Pentium G3460. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3460 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3460 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G3260. 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.

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.
