Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i5-5200U vs Pentium 5405U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 5405U beats the Core i5-5200U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-5200U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
