Intel Core i5-9400F vs AMD Ryzen 5 7520U

Core i5-9400F vs Ryzen 5 7520U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9400F is faster than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 7520U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400F has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Indeed, the Core i5-9400F has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7520U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7520U has more threads than the Core i5-9400F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9400F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7520U outputs less heat than Core i5-9400F 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 i5-9400F. Despite this, the Core i5-9400F has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.

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