Intel Pentium Gold G6405 vs Intel Xeon X5687

Pentium Gold G6405 vs Xeon X5687 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5687 is faster 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 Xeon X5687 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G6405 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5687. A Pentium Gold G6405 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5687 CPU because of its 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.
