Pentium Gold G6400 vs Core i5-3550 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3550 is faster than the Pentium Gold G6400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6400 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-3550 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G6400 that has 2 cores. 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 i5-3550. A Pentium Gold G6400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3550 CPU because of its slightly 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.
