Core i5-7400T vs Core i7-4710HQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4710HQ is faster than the Core i5-7400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7400T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4710HQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4710HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400T. Also, the Core i7-4710HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4710HQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
