Core i5-8400 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G beats the Core i5-8400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G. Indeed, the Core i5-8400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has more threads than the Core i5-8400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. 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. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G.

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.
