AMD Ryzen 7 4700G vs Intel Pentium Gold G7400: Comparison
AMD Ryzen 7 4700G vs Intel Pentium Gold G7400 total cores compared
These two are close on paper, and total cores is the only measure that separates them at all: AMD Ryzen 7 4700G 8 against Intel Pentium Gold G7400 2. Add l3 cache to that, 8 MB on the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G versus 6 MB on the Intel Pentium Gold G7400, and the pattern holds. AMD Ryzen 7 4700G also leads on l2 cache, 4 MB on the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G versus 2.5 MB on the Intel Pentium Gold G7400.
Who each one is for
Take the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G for budget desktop builds wanting genuine 8-core Zen 2 performance with capable integrated graphics. It is not the one for buyers with access to the newer Ryzen 7 5700G, that chip's true Zen 3 architecture offers a real generational improvement. The Intel Pentium Gold G7400 is the one to take for office PCs and budget desktop builds, though it is the wrong buy for gaming and content creation. Our rating of the Intel Pentium Gold G7400 (6.9/10): the Intel Pentium Gold G7400 improves modestly on Celeron with Hyper-Threading, suiting light office and everyday desktop use.
Which is cheaper, AMD Ryzen 7 4700G or Intel Pentium Gold G7400?
The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G asks 133% more, $149 against $64.00 for the Intel Pentium Gold G7400.
Where the two are identical
