Core i5-8400T vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U 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 5 PRO 2500U has 4 cores. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U 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 info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8400T. Despite this, the Core i5-8400T has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-8400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
