Core i5-10400 vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10400 performs better than the Pentium Gold G5400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G5400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-10400 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G5400. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G5400. It also has more threads than the Pentium Gold G5400. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10400. The Pentium Gold G5400 outputs less heat than Core i5-10400 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-10400 has more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G5400. The Core i5-10400 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 i5-10400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
