Intel Pentium G4520 vs AMD Athlon X4 760K

Pentium G4520 vs Athlon X4 760K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4520 is faster than the Athlon X4 760K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Athlon X4 760K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4520. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 760K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4520

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 G4520 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
