Intel Pentium E5700 vs Intel Pentium G6950: comparison

Comparison of Intel Pentium E5700 and Intel Pentium G6950: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Pentium E5700 has a higher base clock (3 GHz vs 2.8 GHz) and a lower TDP (65 W vs 73 W).

At the same time, Intel Pentium G6950 has a larger L3 cache (3 MB vs 2 MB) and a finer process node (32 nm vs 45 nm).

Both processors match on: core count (2), thread count (2).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
