Core i5-9400F vs Ryzen 7 7730U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7730U beats the Core i5-9400F in overall performance. 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 7730U has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9400F. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7730U has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9400F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9400F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9400F has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 7730U. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 7730U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400F. The Ryzen 7 7730U 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.
