Intel Core i5-8400T vs Intel Core i7-11850H

Core i5-8400T vs Core i7-11850H comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11850H beats the Core i5-8400T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-11850H has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8400T. Indeed, the Core i7-11850H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8400T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-11850H has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Core i7-11850H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-11850H CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-8400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
