Pentium Gold G6400 vs Pentium G3220 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G6400 is faster than the Pentium G3220. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium G3220 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Pentium Gold G6400 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3220. The Pentium G3220 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.
