When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10885H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-10400 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10400. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-10885H 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.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
