Intel Core i3-7020U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i3-7020U vs Pentium 5405U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 5405U performs better than the Core i3-7020U. Despite this, the Core i3-7020U 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 i3-7020U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
