Intel Core i7-2670QM vs Intel Pentium 6405U

Core i7-2670QM vs Pentium 6405U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 6405U is faster than the Core i7-2670QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-2670QM has significantly more cores than the Pentium 6405U. Indeed, the Core i7-2670QM has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 6405U. It also has more threads than the Pentium 6405U. The Pentium 6405U outputs less heat than Core i7-2670QM thanks to a 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 i7-2670QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
