Intel Core i5-11400T vs Intel Core i5-9300H

Core i5-11400T vs Core i5-9300H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400T beats the Core i5-9300H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-11400T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-9300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9300H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9300H has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11400T. Also, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-9300H CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-11400T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
