Intel Core i3-6100U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i3-6100U vs Pentium 5405U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 5405U is faster than the Core i3-6100U. Despite this, the Core i3-6100U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i3-6100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
