Intel Core i7-4600U vs Intel Pentium 6405U

Core i7-4600U vs Pentium 6405U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4600U is faster than the Pentium 6405U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 6405U in all gaming tests too.

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.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
