Core i5-8400T vs Ryzen 5 7520U comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7520U performs better than the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-8400T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7520U has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7520U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7520U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7520U has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.
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.
