Ryzen 3 1200 vs Pentium Gold G7400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G7400 beats the Ryzen 3 1200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 3 1200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G7400 that has 2 cores. 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 Ryzen 3 1200. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G7400 has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 1200. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1200 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Pentium Gold G7400.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
