Core i5-7300U vs Pentium 6405U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7300U performs better than the Pentium 6405U. Despite this, the Pentium 6405U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-7300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
