Intel Pentium G4600 vs Intel Core i7-4930MX

Pentium G4600 vs Core i7-4930MX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4930MX beats the Pentium G4600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4930MX has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4600 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G4600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4930MX. A Pentium G4600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4930MX CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-4930MX has more L2 cache than the Pentium G4600. The Core i7-4930MX also has significantly 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.
