Pentium G4560 vs Xeon X3440 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X3440 is faster than the Pentium G4560. Despite this, the Pentium G4560 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X3440 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4560 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4560. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X3440. A Pentium G4560 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3440 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon X3440 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4560. The Xeon X3440 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. Indeed, the Pentium G4560 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
