Intel Core i5-11400 vs Intel Core i7-920

Core i5-11400 vs Core i7-920 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400 beats the Core i7-920 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-920 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-11400 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-920. Indeed, the Core i5-11400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-920. It also has more threads than the Core i7-920. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-920. Also, the Core i5-11400 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-920 CPU because of its 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 i7-920 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-11400

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.
