Intel Pentium G4600 vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Pentium G4600 vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5400 performs better than the Pentium G4600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G4600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4600. A Pentium G4600 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Pentium Gold G5400 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.
