Pentium G3460 vs FX-770K comparison

In our benchmarks, the FX-770K beats the Pentium G3460 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G3460 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the FX-770K has more threads. Both the Pentium G3460 and FX-770K have the same clock speed. A Pentium G3460 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-770K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Pentium G3460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
