Pentium G4560 vs Pentium Gold G5400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G5400 beats the Pentium G4560 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4560 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4560. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Pentium Gold G5400 also has slightly 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. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
