Intel Pentium Gold G7400
The Pentium Gold G7400 is a 2 core CPU from Intel released in 2022. This chip has an average overall score with 2278 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 4637 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Pentium Gold G7400 scores 1677 points and 1609 points respectively. Indeed, this is an average rating for very heavy workloads.
The Pentium Gold G7400 has 2 cores and 4 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 3.7 GHz. This CPU has a locked multiplier, so you are not able to overclock it beyond this frequency.
As for memory, the Pentium Gold G7400 makes use of DDR5-4800 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 128 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 2 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled.
In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold G7400 has 160 KiB of level 1 cache, 2 MiB of level 2 cache and 6 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 5. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs. It has a total of 20 PCIe lanes.
Power and thermals for the Intel Pentium Gold G7400 CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 46 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
