Core i5-9400T vs Core 7 150U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 7 150U performs better than the Core i5-9400T. Despite this, the Core i5-9400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9400T. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9400T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. Both the Core i5-9400T and Core 7 150U have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a significantly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core 7 150U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9400T. The Core 7 150U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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