Intel Core i3-5005U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i3-5005U vs Pentium 5405U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-5005U beats the Pentium 5405U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 5405U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. 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.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-5005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
