Core i5-4200M vs Core 2 Quad Q9400 comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 is faster than the Core i5-4200M. Despite this, the Core i5-4200M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4200M. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4200M. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200M. A Core i5-4200M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-4200M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
