Core i5-6400T vs Core i3-1115G4E comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6400T beats the Core i3-1115G4E in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-1115G4E has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6400T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1115G4E that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4E has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. Also, the Core i3-1115G4E has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1115G4E outputs less heat than Core i5-6400T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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. For instance, the Core i5-6400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
