Intel Core i3-530 vs Intel Pentium 6405U

Core i3-530 vs Pentium 6405U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-530 performs better than the Pentium 6405U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 6405U 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 i3-530 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 i3-530 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
