Pentium Gold G6405 vs Xeon E3-1220 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G6405 is faster than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6405. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6405. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v3. A Pentium Gold G6405 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v3 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 G6405 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
