Intel Core i5-3320M vs Intel Pentium 6405U

Core i5-3320M vs Pentium 6405U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-3320M beats the Pentium 6405U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 6405U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Pentium 6405U outputs less heat than Core i5-3320M thanks to a significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-3320M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
