Core i5-8400 vs Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400 is faster than the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G 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 PRO 4350G. Indeed, the Core i5-8400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has more threads than the Core i5-8400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G.

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.
