Core i5-6400T vs Core i7-7567U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6400T beats the Core i7-7567U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7567U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6400T has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7567U. Indeed, the Core i5-6400T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-7567U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-7567U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T. Also, the Core i7-7567U has a much higher turbo speed. The Core i7-7567U outputs less heat than Core i5-6400T thanks to a 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.
