Core i5-8400T vs Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400T is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8400T has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Indeed, the Core i5-8400T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8400T. Also, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U 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 7 PRO 2700U 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 7 PRO 2700U.

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.
