Pentium G4520 vs Core i7-4810MQ comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4520 beats the Core i7-4810MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4810MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4520. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4520. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. The Core i7-4810MQ 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. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4520. The Core i7-4810MQ also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
