Core i5-10200H vs Core i5-8400H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400H is faster than the Core i5-10200H. Despite this, the Core i5-10200H 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8400H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10200H. Also, the Core i5-8400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i5-8400H also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-10200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
