Intel Core i5-7400T vs Intel Core i3-4340

Core i5-7400T vs Core i3-4340 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4340 beats the Core i5-7400T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-7400T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4340 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4340 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400T. A Core i5-7400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4340 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
