Intel Pentium Gold G7400E vs Intel Core i5-4460

Processor comparisons   11-01-2022
   Let's say you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a choice by looking at the Intel Pentium Gold G7400E vs Intel Core i5-4460 tests and decide which is better for games or simple use for machine learning, streaming, video editing, programming, rendering. Here is useful information from different benchmarks or real streaming and video editing tests. A thorough review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint testing in software tests such as DaVinci Resolve Studio, Gears 5, Blender, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Furmark, Blender, PCMark 10, UserBenchmark, 3DMark, AIDA64, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Dolphin Emulator, Prime95, Handbrake, GeekBench 6, 5.2, MATLAB, PassMark, SuperPi, RealBench, WPrime, VeraCrypt, 7zip.
   And how good the processors are in games:

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a low game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.

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.

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 Pentium Gold G7400E is more energy efficient than the Core i5-4460 as it consumes less power: 46W vs. 84W. 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

If you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for machine learning, programming, video editing or video rendering, streaming, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to achieve maximum efficiency, the CPU turns on 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 make sure that the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that use only one core to run, and all the advantages of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the most helpful will be the release date of the processor and the possibility of overclocking it. 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 benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in the newest games. It turns out that there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Pentium Gold G7400E is 25% better than Core i5-4460 in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Core i5-4460 has 2 more core than Pentium Gold G7400E. 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 G7400E is better: 13
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i5-4460 is better: 21
However, it should be understood that all the data in the article above do not mean that taking them into account you should fully trust a simple comparison of these numbers. Better to watch benchmarks video and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Pentium Gold G7400E and Intel Core i5-4460 before deciding which of the processors to buy for gaming.
