Intel Pentium G4400 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400

Pentium G4400 vs Core 2 Quad Q9400 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Quad Q9400 performs better than the Pentium G4400. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4400. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9400. A Pentium G4400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4400

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 G4400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
