Intel Pentium Gold G5400 vs Intel Core i7-4900MQ

Pentium Gold G5400 vs Core i7-4900MQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5400 performs better than the Core i7-4900MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4900MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4900MQ has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G5400. Indeed, the Core i7-4900MQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G5400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G5400. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4900MQ. The Core i7-4900MQ 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-4900MQ has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G5400. The Core i7-4900MQ 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 Gold G5400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
