Core i3-7100U vs Pentium 6405U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-7100U is faster than the Pentium 6405U. Despite this, the Pentium 6405U 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 i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
