Core i5-9400F vs Ryzen 5 7535U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 7535U is faster than the Core i5-9400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400F in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 7535U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7535U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400F. Also, the Ryzen 5 7535U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7535U 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. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7535U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9400F. The Ryzen 5 7535U 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 i5-9400F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
