Intel Core i5-10210U vs Intel Pentium Gold G6400

Core i5-10210U vs Pentium Gold G6400 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10210U performs better than the Pentium Gold G6400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6400. Indeed, the Core i5-10210U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G6400. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10210U. A Core i5-10210U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-10210U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium Gold G6400. The Core i5-10210U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
