Core i5-7400 vs Core i7-11700K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-11700K is faster than the Core i5-7400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7400 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-11700K has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7400. Indeed, the Core i7-11700K has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7400. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-11700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400. Also, the Core i7-11700K has a much higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11700K CPU because of its 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 i7-11700K has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400. The Core i7-11700K 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.
