Intel Core i5-4460T vs Intel Pentium 6405U

Core i5-4460T vs Pentium 6405U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 6405U performs better than the Core i5-4460T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4460T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium 6405U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium 6405U 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.
