Core i5-8400 vs Ryzen 5 4500 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4500 beats the Core i5-8400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 4500 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8400. Also, the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 5 4500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500.
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.
