Intel Core i5-10400 vs Intel Core i7-11370H

Core i5-10400 vs Core i7-11370H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10400 performs better than the Core i7-11370H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-11370H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-10400 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-11370H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11370H. The Core i7-11370H outputs less heat than Core i5-10400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 i5-10400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
