Intel Pentium Gold G7400 vs Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5

Pentium Gold G7400 vs Xeon E3-1220 v5 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 beats the Pentium Gold G7400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G7400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G7400. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G7400. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G7400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v5. A Pentium Gold G7400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v5 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Pentium Gold G7400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Pentium Gold G7400.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
