Custom 0405 vs Core i3-N305 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Custom 0405 is faster than the Core i3-N305. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the Custom 0405. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Custom 0405. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Custom 0405 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-N305 has more L2 cache than the Custom 0405. The Core i3-N305 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 Custom 0405 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
