Core i5 M 430 vs Pentium E5400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium E5400 performs better than the Core i5 M 430. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5 M 430 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5 M 430 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium E5400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5 M 430. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Pentium E5400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5 M 430

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5 M 430 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
