Pentium Gold G6405 vs Core i7-4712MQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4712MQ performs better than the Pentium Gold G6405. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G6405 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4712MQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G6405 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G6405. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. The Core i7-4712MQ 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.

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 G6405 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
