Intel Core i5-9400 vs Intel Core i7-1165G7

Core i5-9400 vs Core i7-1165G7 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9400 beats the Core i7-1165G7 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1165G7 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-1165G7. Indeed, the Core i5-9400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-1165G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1165G7 has more threads than the Core i5-9400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1165G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1165G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1165G7 outputs less heat than Core i5-9400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-9400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
