Pentium Gold G5400 vs Athlon Gold 7220U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon Gold 7220U is faster than the Pentium Gold G5400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G5400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 7220U. The Athlon Gold 7220U outputs less heat than Pentium Gold G5400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Athlon Gold 7220U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium Gold G5400. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 Gold G5400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
