Core i5-8400T vs Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8400T performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U 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 5 PRO 7530U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8400T. The Ryzen 5 PRO 7530U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
