A6-7400B vs. Pentium G4400 CPU Review

Conclusions

In our most recent reviews where we compared value and mainstream CPUs from AMD and Intel, like the A10-7870K vs. Core i3-6100, or the A8-7670K vs. Pentium G3460, the conclusion was the same: the Intel competitor offered a little more CPU processing power, while the AMD model had a better GPU.
However, in this value CPUs comparison, the conclusion changed a little: while the Pentium G4400 shown a performance that was only a little below the Core i3-6100, and, in some cases, even higher than the A10-7870K, the A6-7400B presented a far lower performance than its brother in several benchmarks.
Even the GPU of the A6-7400B was frustrating, because even with a better graphics engine than the Pentium G4400, the overall gaming performance was limited by the reduced processing power.
Anyway, the user that is looking for a low cost CPU like the A6-7400B (or the A6-7400K, which is the version available in retail) or a Pentium G4400 is not looking for a processor for performance demanding tasks. Therefore, for simple applications like text editing, web surfing or media playing, any of the two CPUs can handle the job flawlessly.
