Intel Core i3-8350K vs Intel Core i5-11400T

Core i3-8350K vs Core i5-11400T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400T beats the Core i3-8350K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-8350K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-11400T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-8350K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8350K. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8350K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400T. The Core i5-11400T outputs less heat than Core i3-8350K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-11400T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8350K. The Core i5-11400T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
