Intel Core i5-2400 vs Intel Core i5-4690

Core i5-2400 vs Core i5-4690 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4690 beats the Core i5-2400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400. Also, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4690 outputs less heat than Core i5-2400 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-2400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
