Pentium G4560 vs Pentium Silver N6000 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Silver N6000 beats the Pentium G4560 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4560 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4560 that has 2 cores. 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 N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 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.

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.
