How much better is an Intel Core i5-4460 LGA 1150 from an Intel g3240?

There are Dell inspiron 3847's with an i5-4460. The motherboard is an H81 and package 1150 and G3240 matches up also.

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/303/Intel_Core_i5_i5-4460_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_G3240.html

In single-threaded tasks, the Core i5-4460 11-14% higher performance.
Reported passmark total use of the cpu
G3240 @ 3.10GHz3271
i5-4460 @ 3.20GHz6626
which is 103%
In gaming, tier 1 vs tier 6

There isn't a huge data set showing every gpu and every cpu at every game setting so we can only use a few points and estimate.

In a top cpu, in a high cpu need game like Batman Arkham Knight
http://www.techspot.com/review/1022-batman-arkham-knight-benchmarks/page2.html
1920x1080on maximum settings 35 or 36fps average.

With a top GPU GTX 980 TI
http://www.techspot.com/review/1022-batman-arkham-knight-benchmarks/page7.html
i5-4460 should average 87fps and minimum 52 fps where the Pentium G3240 should be about 55fps and 32fps minimum.
You can get a sense so far that the Pentium pulls down top GPUs and the GTX 660 has its limitations.
The Pentium G3240 is the bottleneck for a high cpu need game like Batman Arkham Knight
http://www.game-debate.com/...quirements
Versus the game designer, minimum 92% GPU and 76% CPU
Now, the game designer overextended the real minimums.
Working with
http://www.notebookcheck.net/...849.0.html
we know GTX 660 is between #39 GTX 660 TI and #59 GTX 750 TI
high settings 1920x1080, less than ultra
36fps avg 18minimum with a quad core i7 laptop
38, 39 fps average quad core i7 laptop
33fps with a quad core i7 equivalent in a server
All say upper 30's fps at high to maximum settings with a top CPU.
To know how much better, you would have to try Batman Arkham Knight at High to maximum settings and see what your fps averages and minimum
The i5 should play at high settings even if there are some dips.

If you stated a game, estimates are possible.
Newer games needing strong cpu use all of the cpus capability for i5's and Pentiums.
Older games need less cpu and use less of its capability.

The estimates think you are sluggish in low to medium settings in this game which needs a lot of CPU.
It says you can push to high settings on 1920x1080 with the i5
Or, in low settings get extremely fast and smooth play with the i5.

The extra ram does not help, as graphics cards with their own VRAM do not use system ram for graphics queue, and cpus saturate less ram.

Yes it is compatible. Unfortunately, you see the effort to discuss one game.
You do a great improvement in Batman Arkham Knight, almost doubling system performance is the estimation. Maybe 60 to 70% better to be conservative.

If you want one or two more games estimated, it can be done.
In Minecraft, single threaded mostly for CPU, and very low gpu need, you probably saturate your display anyway and get 60fps max and the cpu doesn't do anything boosted to the best i7's.

I hope I gave you a "feeling", but it takes a few games to discuss to talk gaming performance.
In non-gaming, there are also other system limitations other than CPU, like HDD for example.
In video editing, the speed should go up 20% to 40% as a guess. Maybe more.

In high cpu need games, 60 to 100% boost
In low resource games, maybe not at all.

If I say your computer performance goes up 25%on average, nobody would shoot me for the statement. Contact Technical Support @ +1^800^256^7021
