Core i5-9400F vs Ryzen 7 6800H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 6800H 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 7 6800H has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9400F. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9400F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9400F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 6800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400F. Also, the Ryzen 7 6800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 6800H 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 7 6800H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-9400F. The Ryzen 7 6800H 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 i5-9400F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
