Intel Core i7-4500U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i7-4500U vs Pentium 5405U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 5405U is faster than the Core i7-4500U. Despite this, the Core i7-4500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-4500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
