Core i5-11400 vs Ryzen 7 5700X3D comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D beats the Core i5-11400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-11400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-11400 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. Also, the Core i5-11400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-11400. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D also has significantly 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 i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
