Intel Core i5-9400T vs Intel Core i3-1125G4

Core i5-9400T vs Core i3-1125G4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1125G4 is faster than the Core i5-9400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9400T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-1125G4 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i3-1125G4 has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. The Core i3-1125G4 outputs less heat than Core i5-9400T thanks to a 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 i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
