Intel Core i5-6400T vs Intel Core i5-7200U

Core i5-6400T vs Core i5-7200U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6400T is faster than the Core i5-7200U. Despite this, the Core i5-7200U 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 i5-7200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. Also, the Core i5-7200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-7200U 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-6400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
