Pentium G4400T vs Core i7 Q 720 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4400T is faster than the Core i7 Q 720. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 Q 720 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7 Q 720 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4400T has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400T. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4400T has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7 Q 720.

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.
