Core i5-8400 vs Ryzen 3 4100 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 4100 performs better than the Core i5-8400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 4100. Indeed, the Core i5-8400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 4100. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4100 has more threads than the Core i5-8400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4100 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4100.
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. For instance, the Core i5-8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
