Intel Core i5-4460T vs Intel Pentium Gold G6405

Core i5-4460T vs Pentium Gold G6405 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G6405 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.

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 Gold G6405 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460T. A Core i5-4460T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6405 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.
