Core i5-8400H vs Core i7-1195G7 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400H is faster than the Core i7-1195G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1195G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-1195G7 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400H. Also, the Core i7-1195G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1195G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-8400H thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-8400H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
