Intel Core i5-2400 vs Intel Pentium Gold G6405

Core i5-2400 vs Pentium Gold G6405 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2400 performs better than the Pentium Gold G6405. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G6405 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-2400 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium Gold G6405 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400. The Pentium Gold G6405 outputs less heat than Core i5-2400 thanks to a significantly 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.
