Intel Pentium G3460 vs AMD Athlon II X3 450

Pentium G3460 vs Athlon II X3 450 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3460 beats the Athlon II X3 450 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X3 450 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Athlon II X3 450 has significantly more cores with 3 cores compared to the Pentium G3460 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3460. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3460 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X3 450.

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 G3460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
