I am a little confused about this.
Okay, so the G5400 is newer. It's a celeron, but it has 2 cores with hyperthreading, so the effective core count is the same as the 4-core i5-3570K without hyperthreading...
The G5400 has a base clock speed of 3.7GHz, while the i5-3570K is 3.4GHz... i5-3570K has turbo but it only puts it to 3.8GHz so not a huge increase over G5400's base speed...
the G5400's memory bandwidth is almost 50% higher - 37.5 GB/s vs 25.6 GB/s...
i5-3570K has AVX, while G5400 does not.
Anyway, most these points make the G5400 appear that it would be faster than the I5-3570K, yet passmark has the G5400 listed as 5270 in their benchmarks, while the i5-3570K is 7167. That's approx 50% "faster" according to the benchmark.
Can anyone explain to me why this discrepancy is so great when these processors seem so similar in so many respects?
