Intel Core i5-4460T vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i5-4460T vs Pentium 5405U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 5405U beats the Core i5-4460T in overall performance. 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 5405U. Indeed, the Core i5-4460T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 5405U. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium 5405U 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-4460T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
