Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 vs Intel Pentium E5400

Core 2 Duo E8200 vs Pentium E5400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium E5400 beats the Core 2 Duo E8200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E8200 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium E5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo E8200. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E8200 has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium E5400

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core 2 Duo E8200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
