Intel Core i5-9400T vs Intel Core i7-4771

Core i5-9400T vs Core i7-4771 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9400T beats the Core i7-4771 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4771 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 i7-4771 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4771 has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4771 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Core i7-4771 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-4771 CPU because of its 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. For instance, the Core i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
