Intel Core i5-7500T vs Intel Pentium Gold G6400

Core i5-7500T vs Pentium Gold G6400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7500T is faster than the Pentium Gold G6400. Despite this, the Pentium Gold G6400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-7500T has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6400. Indeed, the Core i5-7500T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6400. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7500T. A Core i5-7500T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-7500T has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G6400. The Core i5-7500T also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-7500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
