Pentium Gold G5400 vs Celeron G6900 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G6900 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Pentium Gold G5400 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G6900. The Celeron G6900 outputs less heat than Pentium Gold G5400 thanks to a 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 Celeron G6900 has more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G5400. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 Gold G5400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
