Core i7-8850H vs Core i5-6402P benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8850H beats the Core i5-6402P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6402P in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6402P. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6402P. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6402P. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8850H CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-6402P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-6402P. The Core i7-8850H also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 i7-8850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
