Core i3-5010U vs Pentium 6405U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-5010U performs better than the Pentium 6405U. Despite this, the Pentium 6405U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores 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.

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 i3-5010U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
