Intel Pentium G4400T vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400

Pentium G4400T vs Core 2 Quad Q9400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Quad Q9400 performs better than the Pentium G4400T. Despite this, the Pentium G4400T 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 G4400T. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400T. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400T. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4400T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q9400. A Pentium G4400T 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.

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 G4400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
