Intel® Pentium® Gold G6500T

The Intel Pentium Gold G6500T is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Comet Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Apr 2020. A 4-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1200 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 35 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Pentium Gold G6500T scores 2,227 in single-core performance and 3,764 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,895 for overall performance, 5,564 for productivity performance, 6,079 for creator performance, 3,505 for engineering performance and 7,622 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,882 per core, 941 per thread and 108 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 489. Its performance index is 36, so its overall performance is 64% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Pentium Gold G6500T scores 12,365 in integer math, 7,810 in floating-point math, 56,744 in compression, 1,372 in cryptography, 404 in physics simulation, 1,626 in vector SIMD, 19 in the prime sieve and 7,227 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 79% below in integer math, 83% below in floating-point math, 75% below in compression, 88% below in cryptography, 63% below in physics simulation, 90% below in vector SIMD, 72% below in the prime sieve and 68% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Pentium Gold G6500T has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz.
