Intel Core i7-10510U vs Intel Core i5-2400

Core i7-10510U vs Core i5-2400 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10510U performs better than the Core i5-2400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-10510U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-2400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10510U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-10510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
