Intel Core i5-4330M vs Intel Pentium Silver J5040

Core i5-4330M vs Pentium Silver J5040 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4330M is faster than the Pentium Silver J5040. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver J5040 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver J5040 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4330M. Indeed, the Pentium Silver J5040 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4330M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4330M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver J5040. The Pentium Silver J5040 outputs less heat than Core i5-4330M thanks to a 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 i5-4330M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
