Core i5-9400 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9400 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U outputs less heat than Core i5-9400 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 5650U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-9400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
