Pentium G3460 vs Athlon Silver 7120U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon Silver 7120U performs better than the Pentium G3460. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3460 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3460 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 7120U. The Athlon Silver 7120U outputs less heat than Pentium G3460 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 G3460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
