Pentium Gold G5400 vs Pentium Gold G6405 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Gold G6405 performs better than the Pentium Gold G5400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium Gold G5400 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Gold G5400. A Pentium Gold G5400 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6405 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 Pentium Gold G5400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
