Intel Pentium Silver J5040 vs Intel Core i7-4900MQ

Pentium Silver J5040 vs Core i7-4900MQ benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Silver J5040 beats the Core i7-4900MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4900MQ in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4900MQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4900MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver J5040. A Pentium Silver J5040 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4900MQ 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. For instance, the Pentium Silver J5040 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
