Intel Core i5-4460T vs Intel Pentium 4417U

Core i5-4460T vs Pentium 4417U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 4417U is faster than the Core i5-4460T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-4460T has significantly more cores than the Pentium 4417U. Indeed, the Core i5-4460T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 4417U. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium 4417U outputs less heat than Core i5-4460T 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. For instance, the Core i5-4460T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
