Core i5-8400H vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G beats the Core i5-8400H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8400H in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8400H. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3350G has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400H. Despite this, the Core i5-8400H 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8400H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
