Core i5-11400 vs Core i5-1240P specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11400 performs better than the Core i5-1240P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1240P in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-11400 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Core i5-11400 thanks to a significantly 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 i5-1240P has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11400. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
