Core 2 Quad Q9400 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q9400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9400 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9400. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE outputs less heat than Core 2 Quad Q9400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE

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. For instance, the Core 2 Quad Q9400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
