Core i5-4690 vs Core i5-6402P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6402P is faster than the Core i5-4690. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6402P. Also, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-6402P outputs less heat than Core i5-4690 thanks to a slightly 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 i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
