Intel Pentium G3260 vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Pentium G3260 vs Pentium Silver N5030 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3260 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3260 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3260. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3260 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 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.
