Intel Pentium G4520 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505

Pentium G4520 vs Core 2 Quad Q9505 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4520 beats the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Pentium G4520 has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9505. A Pentium G4520 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9505 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4520

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