Intel Core i3-4020Y vs Intel Core 2 Duo T6400

Core i3-4020Y vs Core 2 Duo T6400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Duo T6400 is faster than the Core i3-4020Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4020Y in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-4020Y has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo T6400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4020Y. A Core i3-4020Y CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo T6400 CPU because of its 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 i3-4020Y has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
