Pentium Gold G6405 vs Athlon Gold 7220U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon Gold 7220U performs better than the Pentium Gold G6405. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6405 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Athlon Gold 7220U. The Athlon Gold 7220U outputs less heat than Pentium Gold G6405 thanks to a significantly 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 G6405 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
