Pentium G4520 vs Athlon X4 860K specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Athlon X4 860K beats the Pentium G4520 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Athlon X4 860K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 860K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4520. A Pentium G4520 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K 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 Athlon X4 860K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4520
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Pentium G4520 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
