Intel Core i5-7400T vs Intel Core i7-4712MQ

Core i5-7400T vs Core i7-4712MQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4712MQ beats the Core i5-7400T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7400T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4712MQ CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-7400T has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4712MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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.
