Core i5-4460T vs Core 2 Duo E7400 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4460T beats the Core 2 Duo E7400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E7400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4460T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core 2 Duo E7400 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E7400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E7400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460T. A Core i5-4460T CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E7400 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. For instance, the Core i5-4460T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
