Intel Pentium 6405U vs Intel Pentium Silver N5000

Pentium 6405U vs Pentium Silver N5000 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium 6405U performs better than the Pentium Silver N5000. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Silver N5000 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5000 has significantly more cores than the Pentium 6405U. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5000 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 6405U. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium Silver N5000 outputs less heat than Pentium 6405U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 Pentium 6405U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
