Pentium Gold G6400 vs Core i3-4370 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G6400 beats the Core i3-4370 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4370 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4370. The Core i3-4370 outputs less heat than Pentium Gold G6400 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G6400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
