Pentium G4560 vs Pentium Silver J5040 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Silver J5040 is faster than the Pentium G4560. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4560 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver J5040 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4560. Indeed, the Pentium Silver J5040 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4560. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium G4560 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 outputs less heat than Pentium G4560 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
