Pentium G4600 vs Celeron G6900 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Celeron G6900 performs better than the Pentium G4600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Pentium G4600 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G6900. The Celeron G6900 outputs less heat than Pentium G4600 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Celeron G6900 has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4600. The Celeron G6900 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 G4600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
