Core i5-11400F vs Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX is faster than the Core i5-11400F. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX has significantly more cores with 32 cores compared to the Core i5-11400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400F. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400F CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
