Engineering Sample 906ED 2.1GHz vs Core i5-10400


Description
Both models 906ED 2.1GHz and i5-10400 are based on Comet Lake architecture.

Comet Lake was released in 2019 as a 14nm process-refinement. These models were released as 10th generation CPUs like 10nm Ice Lake. There are model with 2 to 10 cores.

Using the multithread performance as a reference, the 906ED 2.1GHz gets a score of 657.2 k points while the i5-10400 gets 372.2 k points.

Summarizing, the 906ED 2.1GHz is 1.8 times faster than the i5-10400. To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.
