Core i5-12400F vs Ryzen 5 7535U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12400F beats the Ryzen 5 7535U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7535U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7535U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400F. Also, the Ryzen 5 7535U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7535U outputs less heat than Core i5-12400F thanks to a 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 i5-12400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
