Intel Core 7 360 vs Intel Core i5-14400T Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database records 17 head-to-head comparisons between the Intel Core 7 360 and the Intel Core i5-14400T. The Intel Core i5-14400T claims 14 wins, while the Intel Core 7 360 takes 3. This is not a close contest overall, but the split reveals two distinct usage profiles.

The Core i5-14400T dominates in nearly every multi-threaded and throughput-oriented workload. Its largest margins appear in passmark integer math, where it scores 65667 against 34238, a 47.9% advantage. Data compression shows a similar pattern: 235636 versus 142877, a 39.4% lead. These are workloads that scale with core count and thread count, and the i5-14400T has 10 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 6 threads for the Core 7 360.

The Core 7 360 wins in three specific areas: passmark find prime numbers (120 versus 73, a 64.4% lead), and both passmark single-thread tests (4274 versus 3512, a 21.7% lead). The prime number test is a strong indicator of per-core integer performance, and the single-thread scores show the Wildcat Lake mobile chip carries a meaningful clock-for-clock advantage. The 4.80 GHz boost clock on the Core 7 360 versus 4.50 GHz on the i5-14400T helps explain that result.

For Cinebench workloads, the i5-14400T wins all six tests, with deltas ranging from 20.6% to 20.9%. The multicore and singlecore scores are consistently about 21% higher for the desktop part. That consistency suggests the i5-14400T's advantage is structural, not workload-specific.

The practical takeaway: the Core i5-14400T is the choice for rendering, compilation, compression, encryption, and any task that uses many threads. The Core 7 360 is competitive only in single-threaded or lightly threaded workloads, where its higher boost clock and newer microarchitecture give it an edge. Its 72nd percentile ranking versus the i5-14400T's 79th percentile confirms the overall performance gap.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel families with different design goals. The Core 7 360 is a mobile part built on the Wildcat Lake codename, using Intel's 3 nm process node. The Core i5-14400T is a desktop part from the Raptor Lake-R generation, built on Intel's 10 nm process node. The process gap is significant: 3 nm versus 10 nm means the mobile chip packs transistors more densely, which typically improves power efficiency per unit of work.

Core and thread counts diverge sharply. The Core 7 360 has 6 cores and 6 threads, with no hyper-threading. The Core i5-14400T has 10 cores and 16 threads, meaning it uses a hybrid arrangement with performance and efficiency cores, plus hyper-threading on some of them. The database lists the i5-14400T's die size as 215 mm², while the Core 7 360 does not have a recorded die size.

Cache layouts also differ. The Core 7 360 has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. The Core i5-14400T has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. The i5-14400T's larger L3 pool (20 MB versus 6 MB) helps in workloads with large working sets, while the Core 7 360's larger per-core L1 and L2 caches favor latency-sensitive single-threaded code.

Memory support differs as well. The Core 7 360 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a single-channel memory bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. The Core i5-14400T supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus; no bandwidth figure is recorded for it. ECC memory is supported only on the i5-14400T. PCIe connectivity is also different: the Core 7 360 provides Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes, while the i5-14400T provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: the Core 7 360 uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores, while the i5-14400T uses UHD Graphics 730. The mobile part's Xe3 architecture is newer, but the database does not include graphics benchmarks for either part.

The sockets are not interchangeable. The Core 7 360 uses Intel BGA 1516, a soldered mobile socket. The Core i5-14400T uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop LGA socket. The market segments confirm this: mobile versus desktop.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench suite shows a uniform pattern. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the i5-14400T scores 1732 against 1374, a 20.7% lead. R15 singlecore goes to the i5-14400T at 244 versus 193, a 20.9% lead. R20 multicore: 7219 versus 5726, 20.7%. R20 singlecore: 1018 versus 808, 20.6%. R23 multicore: 17189 versus 13634, 20.7%. R23 singlecore: 2426 versus 1924, 20.7%. Every Cinebench result lands within a narrow band of 20.6% to 20.9% in favor of the desktop chip, indicating a consistent throughput advantage across all Cinebench versions.

PassMark tests tell a more nuanced story. Integer math heavily favors the i5-14400T: 65667 versus 34238, a 47.9% margin. Data compression follows at 235636 versus 142877, a 39.4% margin. Multithread score: 20223 versus 15544, a 23.1% lead. Random string sorting: 25181 versus 17636, a 30% lead. Floating point math: 49139 versus 44963, an 8.5% lead. Data encryption: 13244 versus 11164, a 15.7% lead. Extended instructions: 14562 versus 12390, a 14.9% lead. Physics: 1244 versus 1213, a narrow 2.5% lead.

The Core 7 360's wins are concentrated. Passmark find prime numbers shows a 64.4% advantage (120 versus 73), the largest delta in either direction. Single-thread performance gives it 4274 versus 3512, a 21.7% lead. The same single-thread score appears twice in the database (passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread both record 4274), confirming the result.

The average benchmark score reflects the overall gap: the Core 7 360 averages 18374, while the i5-14400T averages 27166. The nearest rivals in the database place the Core 7 360 alongside the Intel Core i3-13100 (18380, 0% delta), Intel Core 5 330 (18345, 0.2% delta), Intel Core i3-14100 (18318, 0.3% delta), and Intel Core 3 305 (18302, 0.4% delta). The i5-14400T sits near the Intel Core i9-9900K (27097, 0.3% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (27051, 0.4% delta), Intel Core i7-13700H (27355, -0.7% delta), and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G (27382, -0.8% delta). The Core 7 360's closest rivals are all lower-tier desktop parts, while the i5-14400T's rivals include older flagship and high-end mobile chips.

Both parts run at the same 1.50 GHz base clock, but the Core 7 360 boosts 300 MHz higher. The i5-14400T draws more than double the TDP (35 W versus 15 W), which is expected for a desktop part with 10 cores. The Core 7 360's 3 nm process node versus 10 nm for the i5-14400T explains how the mobile chip achieves competitive single-thread performance at lower power.
