Intel Core i5-6200U vs Intel Core i5-6400T

Core i5-6200U vs Core i5-6400T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6400T performs better than the Core i5-6200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-6400T has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-6200U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-6200U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6400T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
