Core i3-2370M vs Pentium 6405U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 6405U is faster than the Core i3-2370M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2370M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Pentium 6405U outputs less heat than Core i3-2370M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-2370M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
