Core i5-8400 vs Core i7 M 620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400 is faster than the Core i7 M 620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 M 620 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 i7 M 620. Indeed, the Core i5-8400 has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7 M 620. It also has more threads than the Core i7 M 620. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7 M 620. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-8400 has more L2 cache than the Core i7 M 620. The Core i5-8400 also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
