Intel Core i5-10400 vs Intel Pentium Gold G6400

Core i5-10400 vs Pentium Gold G6400 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10400 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 i5-10400 has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6400. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has 6 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 slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400. The Pentium Gold G6400 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G6400. The Core i5-10400 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
