Pentium G3260 vs Pentium Silver J5040 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Silver J5040 is faster than the Pentium G3260. Despite this, the Pentium G3260 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver J5040 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G3260. Indeed, the Pentium Silver J5040 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G3260. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3260. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3260 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 outputs less heat than Pentium G3260 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
