Intel Core i5-7400 vs Intel Core i5-6402P

Core i5-7400 vs Core i5-6402P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-7400 beats the Core i5-6402P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6402P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6402P. Also, the Core i5-7400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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