Intel Pentium Gold G6405U vs Intel Core i5-8250U

Processor comparisons   19-03-2021
   Let's say you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the Intel Pentium Gold G6405U vs Intel Core i5-8250U tests and understand which is better for games or normal use for rendering, programming, video editing, machine learning, streaming. Here is useful information from real video editing and streaming tests or various benchmarks. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in software tests such as GeekBench 6, 5.2, VeraCrypt, UserBenchmark, 7zip, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Gears 5, WPrime, Furmark, DaVinci Resolve Studio, MATLAB, Blender, Blender, Dolphin Emulator, Handbrake, AIDA64, PCMark 10, SuperPi, PassMark, Prime95, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), 3DMark, RealBench.
   And how good the CPUs are in games:
  • Last Man Standing
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • Fallout 76

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of other games in which processors were compared: Metro Exodus, NBA 2K20, Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Control, Monster Hunter World, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), League of Legends (LOL), Hitman 3, DOTA 2A, Ghostrunner, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, Forza Horizon 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Half-Life: Alyx, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG).

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers that were in the comparisons not only did they have different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 4K, 2K or FullHD. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.


Power consumption
Pentium Gold G6405U132% Core i5-8250U199%
To make a finishing resolution on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i5-8250U is more energy efficient than the Pentium Gold G6405U as it consumes less power: 15W vs. 15W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, it will be useful to know its TDP. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

Let's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for streaming, video rendering or video editing, machine learning, programming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to achieve maximum performance, the CPU includes all threads and cores that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the software you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most helpful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same can be said about overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in the newest games. The economy are obvious! It turns out that you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Pentium Gold G6405U is 33% better than Core i5-8250U in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Core i5-8250U has 2 more core than Pentium Gold G6405U. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Pentium Gold G6405U is better: 6
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i5-8250U is better: 25
   However, it should be realized that all the data in the article above do not mean that taking them into account you should entirely trust a simple quantitative comparison. Better to watch the video tests and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Pentium Gold G6405U and Intel Core i5-8250U before making a decision which of the CPUs to buy for gaming.
