Core i5-12400 vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs better than the Core i5-12400. Despite this, the Core i5-12400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-12400 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12400 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 i5-12400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
