Pentium G4520 vs Core i7-6498DU comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4520 is faster than the Core i7-6498DU. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6498DU in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6498DU has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6498DU. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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.
