Intel Pentium G4520 vs Intel Core i7-4712MQ

Pentium G4520 vs Core i7-4712MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4712MQ is faster than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4712MQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4520 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. The Core i7-4712MQ outputs less heat than Pentium G4520 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Pentium G4520 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4712MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4712MQ has significantly more L3 cache 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.
