Core i5-8400 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8400 performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8400. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8400. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8400 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8400. The Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X also has significantly more L3 cache.
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.
