Intel Pentium Gold G6400 vs Intel Pentium Silver N6000

Pentium Gold G6400 vs Pentium Silver N6000 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G6400 is faster than the Pentium Silver N6000. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N6000 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium Silver N6000 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium Silver N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 outputs less heat than Pentium Gold G6400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G6400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
