Intel Core i5-6300U vs Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Core i5-6300U vs Pentium Gold G5400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G5400 performs better than the Core i5-6300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium Gold G5400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300U. A Core i5-6300U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
