Pentium E5200 vs Core 2 Duo T6400 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium E5200 performs better than the Core 2 Duo T6400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo T6400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium E5200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo T6400. The Core 2 Duo T6400 outputs less heat than Pentium E5200 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 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. For instance, the Pentium E5200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
