Intel Core i5-8400 vs Intel Core i5-10200H

Core i5-8400 vs Core i5-10200H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8400 performs better than the Core i5-10200H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10200H in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-10200H has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i5-10200H has more threads than the Core i5-8400. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10200H. Despite this, the Core i5-10200H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-10200H outputs less heat than Core i5-8400 thanks to a 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 i5-8400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10200H. The Core i5-8400 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 i5-8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
