Intel Core i5-8400 vs Intel Core i5-1035G1

Core i5-8400 vs Core i5-1035G1 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8400 beats the Core i5-1035G1 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1035G1 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-1035G1. Indeed, the Core i5-8400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-1035G1. Despite this, the Core i5-1035G1 has more threads than the Core i5-8400. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8400 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1035G1. Also, the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1035G1 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 i5-1035G1. The Core i5-8400 also has significantly more 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 i5-8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
