Core i5-8400T vs Ryzen 3 7320U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 7320U performs better than the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8400T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 7320U has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 7320U has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 7320U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Ryzen 3 7320U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 3 7320U outputs less heat than Core i5-8400T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 7320U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 7320U.

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 i5-8400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
