More important for gaming than the number of cores and threads is the clock rate. Is largely irrelevant, as long as you have at least 2 cores (preferably 4), and hyperthreading can sometimes
Hyperthreading will beīeneficial for applications optimized for it, but it may slow others down. Their accompanying thread will always be beneficial for multi-threaded applications. Multiple threads are useful for improving the performance of multi-threaded applications. Run slightly older games fairly effectively.īoth the Intel Pentium G630 2.7GHz and the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz have the same number of threads.īoth CPUs have one thread per physical core. With a decent accompanying GPU, the Pentium G630 2.7GHz and the Core 2 Duo may still be able to The Pentium G630 2.7GHz and the Core 2 Duo both have 2 cores, and soĪre quite likely to struggle with the latest games, or at least bottleneck high-end graphics cards when running It will therefore become a bottleneck in today's demanding games. The processor DOES NOT integrated any graphics. It offers 2 Physical Cores (2 Logical), clocked at 3.0GHz and 6MB of L2 Cache. This means it will become a bottleneck in some demanding applications.Ĭore 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz is a middle-class Processor based on the 45nm Core micro-architecture. īoth the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 65W.
The processor integrates very weak Graphics called Intel HD Graphics Desktop (Bay Trail), with 6 Execution Units, initially clocked at 850MHz and that go up to 1100MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor. Īmong its many features, Virtualization is activated. It offers 2 Physical Cores (2 Logical), clocked at 2.7GHz and 3MB of 元 Cache. Pentium G630 2.7GHz is a budget processor based on the 32nm, Sandy Bridge architecture.
