Intel Pentium Gold G6400 vs Intel Core i5-2320

Pentium Gold G6400 vs Core i5-2320 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2320 is faster than the Pentium Gold G6400. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G6400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-2320 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6400. Indeed, the Core i5-2320 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6400. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2320. A Pentium Gold G6400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2320 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 G6400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
