Core i5-6400T vs Core i7-4712MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4712MQ is faster than the Core i5-6400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6400T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. Also, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4712MQ CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-6400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
