Intel Core i5-6400 vs Intel Core i7-10700F

Core i5-6400 vs Core i7-10700F comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700F is faster than the Core i5-6400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10700F has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6400. Indeed, the Core i7-10700F has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6400. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6400. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-10700F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400. Also, the Core i7-10700F has a significantly higher turbo speed. 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. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-10700F has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6400. The Core i7-10700F also has significantly more 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 i5-6400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
