Intel Pentium Gold G6405 vs Intel Xeon X3450

Pentium Gold G6405 vs Xeon X3450 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G6405 beats the Xeon X3450 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X3450 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X3450 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6405. Indeed, the Xeon X3450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6405. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G6405. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon X3450. A Pentium Gold G6405 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3450 CPU because of its 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.
