Intel Core i5-2400S vs Intel Core i3-6098P

Core i5-2400S vs Core i3-6098P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6098P beats the Core i5-2400S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400S in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-2400S has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6098P that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6098P has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400S. The Core i3-6098P outputs less heat than Core i5-2400S thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-2400S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
