Core i5-7400 vs Core i5-4670 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4670 is faster than the Core i5-7400. Despite this, the Core i5-7400 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400. Also, the Core i5-4670 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670 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 i5-7400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
