Intel Core i5-7200U vs Intel Pentium Gold G6400

Core i5-7200U vs Pentium Gold G6400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G6400 is faster than the Core i5-7200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7200U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7200U. A Core i5-7200U CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6400 CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
