Intel Core i5-4200H vs Intel Pentium Silver N6000

Core i5-4200H vs Pentium Silver N6000 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Silver N6000 beats the Core i5-4200H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200H in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium Silver N6000 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-4200H that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4200H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000. The Pentium Silver N6000 outputs less heat than Core i5-4200H 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 i5-4200H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
