Intel Pentium Gold G7400TE

The Intel Pentium Gold G7400TE is a 2-core, 4-thread desktop processor built on the Alder Lake-S architecture and manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. It runs at a 3.00 base clock, with no boost clock listed in the database. The chip uses Socket 1700, supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory via a dual-channel memory bus, and includes Gen 5 PCIe connectivity. UHD Graphics 710 provides integrated graphics, and the processor's TDP is 35. It was released on 2022-01-03 and is marked as active production. The database lists no benchmark scores for this part, but it records a 50th percentile ranking across all CPUs.

Platform and Compatibility

Socket 1700 is the physical interface for this processor. The data identifies the architecture as Alder Lake and the codename as Alder Lake-S, placing it within Intel's desktop Alder Lake generation. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, with the memory bus listed as dual-channel. This dual-generation memory support is a notable platform feature: the motherboard determines which memory generation can be installed, and the processor can work with either. The fact pack does not list memory speeds, only the memory types and the bus configuration. The memory controller does not support ECC, so error-correcting memory is not available on this part.

For expansion, the processor includes Gen 5 PCIe connectivity. The number of available lanes is not stated, but the interface generation is recorded, meaning the platform can connect to Gen 5-capable devices where the motherboard provides the appropriate slots. Integrated UHD Graphics 710 is part of the package, so a discrete graphics card is not required for basic display output. The market segment is Desktop, and production status is Active, indicating the chip remains in production. The release date is 2022-01-03.

The multiplier is not unlocked, so the CPU's clock ratio cannot be freely adjusted for overclocking. The cache layout is part of the platform picture as well: each core has 80 KB of L1 cache, each core has 1.25 MB of L2 cache, and the two cores share 6 MB of L3 cache. For an upgrade path, the relevant facts are the socket and the generation. Because the processor is active and uses Socket 1700, the motherboard ecosystem is the central factor in future compatibility. No other processor support details are supplied in the fact pack, so the upgrade path cannot be mapped to specific chips beyond the socket itself.

Power and Thermals

The thermal design point is 35. That is a low TDP figure for a desktop processor, implying that a modest cooling solution is sufficient to manage heat. The exact cooler class is not given, and no size or airflow specifications appear in the data. A 35 TDP processor does not carry the thermal demands associated with high-end desktop parts. The 10 nm process node is listed, and the processor has 2 cores and 4 threads. These characteristics, combined with a fixed 3.00 base clock and no boost clock, suggest a power profile that stays within a narrow range.

The absence of an unlocked multiplier removes overclocking as an additional power factor. The integrated UHD Graphics 710 is on the same package, and the 35 TDP covers the whole processor, although the split between CPU and graphics power is not detailed in the fact pack. In practical terms, the data points toward a low-heat build. The dual-core design has limited peak load compared to higher-core-count parts, and the low TDP simplifies thermal design. A basic heat sink or a quiet low-airflow cooling solution should be adequate, but the database does not specify any thermal solution. The only thermal-related numbers in the record are the 35 TDP and the 10 nm process node; measured thermal output is not included.

System builders should treat the 35 TDP as the defining constraint for power and cooling choices. Because no boost clock is listed, there is no recorded turbo range that would temporarily raise power draw. The power profile is therefore flatter than that of processors with a separate boost figure. The data does not include a wattage figure beyond the TDP value, so no further power draw claims can be made.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The G7400TE has 2 physical cores and 4 threads. The thread count being twice the core count indicates that each core can execute two logical threads. This helps with responsiveness when multiple tasks share the processor, but it does not add physical execution resources. The base clock is 3.00, and no boost clock is recorded, so the processor's operating speed is expected to stay at that level.

Single-threaded workloads will depend on the Alder Lake core design, the cache hierarchy, and how well a single thread can use the available L1 and L2 resources. The L1 cache is 80 KB per core, and the L2 cache is 1.25 MB per core. These private caches give each pair of threads a moderate amount of fast memory. The shared L3 cache is 6 MB, allowing both cores to pool data for frequently accessed code. In lightly threaded work, the dual-core configuration is sufficient, because only one or two threads need scheduling at a time.

In multi-threaded work, four execution threads are available, but the physical core count is still only two. Applications that use four threads will gain some parallelism, while applications that use more than four threads will leave work waiting. The dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 memory bus can feed both cores, but the fact pack does not include memory bandwidth values, so the precise impact on multi-threaded performance cannot be quantified.

The split between single-thread and multi-thread behavior is therefore defined by the core and thread counts. With a 3.00 base clock, 2 cores, and 4 threads, the processor is better matched to workloads that use only a few threads rather than heavily parallel workloads that require many physical cores. The lack of benchmark scores prevents a numerical statement of the single-thread and multi-thread performance ratio, but the configuration itself sets the expectation: this is a small-core-count desktop part with a modest power envelope.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field in the fact pack is empty. There are no rival names, no rival scores, and no percentage-delta values to cite. Therefore, the usual per-rival comparisons cannot be written from the available data. The only comparative metric in the record is the 50th percentile against all CPUs in the database. This percentile indicates that the processor sits in the middle of the distribution of tracked CPUs, with roughly half of the entries above it and half below it.

That is a broad placement, not a direct comparison to any specific competitor. Without nearest rivals, the database does not state whether the G7400TE is closer to other dual-core parts or to processors with more cores. The empty rival list could reflect missing sample data or a lack of assigned comparison points, but the fact pack contains no further explanation. No claims can be made about this processor relative to another named product, because such a claim would not be supported by the provided data.

The 50th percentile is the extent of the comparison information. It should be read as a baseline signal rather than a precise competitive position. The absence of nearest rivals means this page cannot supply the usual one-paragraph comparison per competitor. The available fact set simply does not include those data points.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark results for the G7400TE are not populated in the database. The benchmarks array is empty, and the average benchmark score is 0. In this record, 0 represents missing sample data rather than a tested performance result. The processor has no measured scores from which to calculate single-thread or multi-thread performance. The only ranking present is the 50th percentile among all CPUs.

Because there are no rival scores, exact percentage deltas cannot be provided. The cache configuration offers indirect performance context: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. The 3.00 base clock, 2 cores, and 4 threads are the other components of any performance estimate. If a benchmark sample were added, the memory type and dual-channel bus could influence the result, but no bandwidth number appears in the fact pack. Likewise, the integrated UHD Graphics 710 could produce graphics benchmark results, but none are recorded. Gen 5 PCIe connectivity could affect storage or graphics benchmarks, but no data supports that analysis.

The benchmark section is therefore limited to an empty test list, a zero score, and a global percentile. The 50th percentile is the only numeric performance-related signal. It places the processor at the midpoint of the database's CPU distribution, which is a useful reference point even though it is not a benchmark score. Without a filled benchmarks array, the performance record cannot support statements such as "ahead of" or "behind" a specific rival. The measured performance of the G7400TE is undocumented in this database, and its recorded rank is exactly the 50th percentile.
