Intel Core i5-6400T vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Core i5-6400T vs Core i7-4810MQ specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4810MQ performs better than the Core i5-6400T. Despite this, the Core i5-6400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-6400T has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Core i5-6400T. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. Also, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4810MQ CPU because of its slightly 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.
