Intel Core i7-5600U vs Intel Pentium 5405U

Core i7-5600U vs Pentium 5405U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-5600U performs better than the Pentium 5405U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 5405U 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
