Core i5-4670K vs Core i5-6402P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4670K is faster than the Core i5-6402P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6402P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4670K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6402P. Also, the Core i5-4670K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-6402P outputs less heat than Core i5-4670K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4670K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
