Intel Core i5-4200U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i5-4200U vs Pentium 5405U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 5405U is faster than the Core i5-4200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200U 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. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-4200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
