Intel Core i5-9400T vs Intel Core i7-5700HQ

Core i5-9400T vs Core i7-5700HQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9400T performs better than the Core i7-5700HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5700HQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400T has significantly more cores than the Core i7-5700HQ. Indeed, the Core i5-9400T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-5700HQ. Despite this, the Core i7-5700HQ has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5700HQ has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Core i7-5700HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-5700HQ CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-9400T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-5700HQ. The Core i5-9400T also has significantly 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.
