Core i7-6600U vs Pentium 5405U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6600U is faster than the Pentium 5405U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 5405U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
