It also has more threads than the Core i5-7400. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11400H. Despite this, the Core i5-11400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-11400H outputs less heat than Core i5-7400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-11400H has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400. The Core i5-11400H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-7400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
