Core i5-11400 vs Core 5 210H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11400 is faster than the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 5 210H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11400 that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core 5 210H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-11400. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
