Core i5-10400F vs Ryzen 9 6900HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is faster than the Core i5-10400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-10400F in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has slightly more cores than the Core i5-10400F. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10400F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10400F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400F. Also, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 9 6900HS outputs less heat than Core i5-10400F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 6900HS has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10400F. The Ryzen 9 6900HS also has slightly more L3 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. Indeed, the Core i5-10400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
