Core i5-7400T vs Core i7-3630QM benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3630QM performs better than the Core i5-7400T. Despite this, the Core i5-7400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3630QM has more threads. Both the Core i5-7400T and Core i7-3630QM have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-3630QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3630QM 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 i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
